White Silence is an ongoing group exercise at Jugglers where invited artists collaborate on an interpretive response to a controlled environment of selected music and silence, usually in one of the Jugglers exhibition spaces. This is done without any verbal communication between participants. The idea is borrowed from the mystics across a range of spiritual traditions in an attempt to also create a crucible for possible moments of inexplicable presence, new understandings and epiphany. We encourage the use of these videos for private reflection and contemplation.

Jugglers Art Space is proud to be hosting two free exhibitions in February awarded to six outstanding fine art students at their graduation shows last year as part of an ongoing parternship between Jugglers Art Space Inc & Southbank Tafe.
Capturing the Spirit…
Opening Night Event: Friday 20th February 2015 from 6-9pm
Three award winning visual art graduates from TAFE Queensland, Brisbane, Alex Freitas, Jane McGeough and Felicity Scarce, step out of the nest to present their first exhibition in Brisbane. Bringing together three very different styles and mediums, painting, sculpture and video installation, the works weave a sense of capturing the spirit – of a moment, a person or through a ritual. In abstract drawings and quirky wood sculptures Alex tries to capture simple moments of his life. In bold, fresh and colourful portraits of local Brisbane activists Jane seeks to capture the vision and the spirit of the person. Felicity’s practice is an exploration of and experiment in spirituality, the idea of everyday magic and ritual.
On Air
Opening Night Event: Friday 27th February 2015 from 6-9pm
Artists Jordan Harris, Tanya Borg and Michelle Eskola present On Air: An exploration of digital spaces through traditional media, at Jugglers Art Space.
Digital imagery and portable electronic devices have generated an endless drift of visual information. ‘On Air’ responds to the rise of selfies, non-moments and instagram filters through painting, drawing and photography. These online impressions are suspended in real space to find new meanings, perspectives and formations.
