The Bin opens Permenaant Gallery on 17th May 07

PERMENAANT GALLERY

On the 17th of May 2007 The Bin will open our newest art project – PERMENAANT. A non show based gallery that aims to showcase a variety of works from the deep pool of South African Talent.

Permenaant will not focus on exhibition openings but rather be a space for artists to hang works on a permanent basis.

Works will be for sale in the space.

The gallery will be open with the same hours as The Bin.

Monday – Friday 10am – 6pm
Saturdays – 10:30am – 3pm
Select Sundays – 11am – 4pm

The gallery will hang a maximum of 3 works from any given artist. Unsold works from exhibitions will, from time to time move into the Permenaant space, and will be marked up slightly higher than the show price (this is to avoid people waiting till after shows to buy work and create added value to the work whilst it is on show)

Permenaant rises from a discontent with the increasing use of art as a commodity rather than a medium of expression and aims to contribute towards the re-balancing of art as product / art as expression.

Our hope is to provide a space for artists that may produce small amounts of work over long periods and who are not looking for short term exhibitions.

We are pushing out an open call for artists to provide us with works for the gallery space.

For further information, and/or to set-up an appointment where we’ll be able to view your works and discuss the pro’s and cons of our new space, please contact.
