Ocular lab: 12 curated by Kirsten Rann and Alex Rizkalla

Ocular lab inc, also known as Ocular lab, is at once an incorporated group of individuals and an exhibition space. Ocular lab, the group, comprises twelve arts practitioners: 11 artists and 1 curator/writer, with a structure that is based on a fluid form of collectivity rather than the traditional model of an artist-run-space in Australia.
The eleven artists are: John Abbate. Damiano Bertoli. Sandra Bridie. Julie Davies. Raafat Ishak. Sean Loughrey. Sally Mannall. Tom Nicholson. Louise Paramor. Alex Rizkalla. Bernhard Sachs, the curator/writer is: Kirsten Rann.
Ocular lab, the space, is located on the corner of Albert and Pearson streets in West Brunswick in an old milk bar that the 'lab' recently renovated and hosts various exhibitions, activities and events scheduled throughout each year.
This exhibition at spacement focuses on both ocular lab as a group and on each individuals practice.
Ocular lab was launched in October 2003 with the exhibition labrador. The second exhibition in which they were featured as a collective for 2004 was at ACMI/NGV and was titled labrador #2.
