Until Never

• Broadsheet.com.au

A commercial gallery with an experimental heart, Until Never exhibits an eclectic and thought-provoking mix of artists from street and political artists to fine art illustrators, graphic artists and documentary filmmakers.

The project of Citylights director and curator Andy Mac opened in 2005 and is located right in the centre of the Hosier Lane street art district, and opposite the NGV in Federation Square. In what was originally the top floor of a building of studios, the space now consists of two well-lit, high-ceilinged rooms.

Until Never showcases emerging artists, from the Swiss-based award winning Husmann/Tschaeni to the first Melbourne solo exhibition for local artist Shida, who has been well received in Europe and is a presence on the street throughout Australia. Renowned American street artist Shepherd Fairey, who notably created the art for the Obama election campaign, also has exhibited.

The interior space allows for projects and experiments that can’t always be done in a public space, with ambitious and fresh results.
