Inflight gallery is on Elizabeth Street half way between Hobart’s seedy CBD mall and the almost-cosmopolitan restaurant/bar strip of North Hobart. It is a small
warehouse split into two exhibition spaces - the main gallery and the project space - and located amidst car yards, across the road from a meat wholesaler and next
door to a granite and marble importer. You enter Inflight via a car park at the back of a café/nightclub. Many an opening is spent lingering with beers and plastic cups of wine in this asphalt no-man’s-land, as Friday afternoons slip into Friday nights.
This is an idiosyncratic space in which to run an art gallery. It’s a fair distance from Hobart’s long established cultural institutions (state galleries, museums, art centre and art school) housed in heritage buildings along the city harbour front. And it’s nowhere near commercial galleries supplying local creations to the insatiable tourist trade. We are positioned in a transitory zone: lots of traffic passes by. It’s a hybrid zone too: kind of suburban, pretty commercial, not quite inner city.
Occupying uncertain ground, geographically and psychologically, causes an entity to question itself and its place. This could be approached as a tension needing
resolution. Alternatively, it might be seen as a state worth perpetuating. It can necessitate the invention of categories and the creation of new criteria. It might stimulate growth and change. It manifests opportunities. Straddling divides is also hard work.
But it is common knowledge that the most interesting territory always exists between established points. The best bits are in the crossovers, grey areas, and at the edges - like that tantalizing dodginess on the brink of another’s privacy, or the seeming emptiness between creative thoughts and words, or the horrible slippages constantly occurring between bodies. These are challenging, unnerving, uncertain,
rewarding spaces.
