VAULT Issue 44: The Future Issue Launch Party
6 – 8:30 PM, FRIDAY 3 NOVEMBER 2023
AUSTRALIAN CENTRE FOR CONTEMPORARY ART (ACCA)
111 STURT STREET, SOUTHBANK, VIC
In celebration of the launch of VAULT Issue 44: The Future Issue, we gathered at ACCA and enjoyed drinks, including a dedicated Champagne Pommery bar, nibbles, after-hours gallery access and fantastic speakers, all to the sweet sounds of Melbourne-local DJ Bby Cass!
To start off the proceedings, ACCA Senior Curator and curator of James Nguyen: Open Glossary Shelley McSpedden introduced the exhibition for guests to enjoy exclusive after-hours access to.
VAULT Editor Alison Kubler was then joined by Issue 44-featured artists Nimrod Weis, Jonny Scholes and Serwah Attafuah to discuss Optics for Optimism: What does the future look like according to artists, and how might it be radically positive? in a timely and insightful live in-conversation.
It was truly an evening not to be missed, and we would like to thank ACCA, our artists, our contributors and everyone who came for a very special night. We hope the future holds many more nights like this!
Issue 44: The Future Issue looks to artists at the vanguard, including Serwah Attafuah, Michael Candy, Boris Eldagsen, Jenny Holzer, Patricia Piccinini, Agnieszka Pilat and Jordan Wolfson, for a sense of what the wide-open future of art and society might look like. The exciting new issue is available for purchase here!
