BOXCOPY 2009-2010
[ ARCHIVES COPY ]
Founded in 2007, Boxcopy is an Artist-Run Initiative (ARI) dedicated to supporting the experimental and innovative practices of emerging and mid-career Australian artists.
Currently located on the first floor of the Watson Brothers Building, 129 Margaret Street, Brisbane, it delivers exhibitions that encourage critical engagement with art that explores a diverse range of
media, ideas and approaches to art practice. Boxcopy supports artists who experiment and challenge common expectations of art to provide new perspectives on contemporary themes and subjects. Boxcopy operates on a not-for-profit and volunteer basis, and in 2009–10 was run by Joseph Breikers, Channon Goodwin, Timothy P. Kerr, Daniel McKewen, Raymonda Rajkowski and Tim Woodward, with the help of Intern Anastasia Booth and Volunteers Isabella Pearson and Mel Ryke.
This publication encapsulates the processes and outcomes of Boxcopy’s 2009–10 exhibition program, which consisted of seven artist-in-focus exhibitions featuring the new work of local and interstate artists, and a series of auxiliary of-site projects of site-specific installation-based work
as part of the Boxcopy: Ensuite program. This publication features the catalogue essays and images from the exhibitions and projects presented in 2009–10. Three additional essays produced by Brisbane writer Danni Zuvela, Melbourne artist and Kings ARI board member Tamsin Green,
and (UK based) Boxcopy founding member Marianne Templeton position Boxcopy and its projects in the boarder context of artist-run and contemporary art practice.
