Even though gallery shows are only a small part of what we do as artists, it’s true that presenting an exhibition at a high-profile place like the Art Gallery of NSW can really open up some unexpected doors. When The Yeomans Project occupied the Contemporary Project Space at AGSNW in early 2014, it popped up […]
