West Space is pleased to announce its upcoming annual fundraiser A4 Art 2008, the 15th annual fundraising exhibition. Featuring new works for sale by an exciting invited selection of 60 artists this is an event not to be missed.

West Space presents new and recent works of sculpture, drawing, painting and video by over 60 emerging and established Australian artists. Having long since abandoned the A4 format, A4 Art 2008 connects Melbourne audiences and collectors with the forefront of contemporary art practice. The fundraising endeavour provides the opportunity to purchase significant works from as little as $150 while providing invaluable support to one of Australia’s most determined and longest running artist led organisations.

Proceeds from A4 Art 2008 will be used to further develop West Space’s ambitious 2009 artistic program helping to provide funding for projects, publications, sound events and forums.

Her work engages with the mass media and its role in the how we see each other and the world. nat&ali (1999–2005) was a collaboration that riffed with riot grrrl strategies. nattysolo (one woman, one camera, no film) is an ongoing endurance performance project with an online outcome. The widely read project uses the form of the social page and social archive and fuses gossip and innuendo with scathing cultural criticism.
