12 glass display cases in the underpass will be transformed into into exhibition spaces for creative practitioners ranging from curators to engineers.
The program, which was formerly known as Platform Art Spaces, has been named with a wry nod to their location and number of display cases. The Dirty Dozen is funded by a different sponsor each year and therefore the exhibition space is provided free-of-charge to successful applicants.
Exhibitions run for approximately eight weeks each with a week to install at the start of the term and a week to uninstall at the end.
The launch of the space and opening of the first exhibition, curated by the group of engineers and scientists called Skunk Control, will occur on Wednesday June 24 at 6pm.
