Is it possible for a space to defy trends? BSIDE Gallery certainly tries. Established in 2016, BSIDE Gallery in Fitzroy is a breath of fresh air in the art world. This gallery champions a different approach, breaking away from the often rigid and traditional gallery setting. BSIDE Gallery champions emerging and established artists, offering a platform for their unique voices. The gallery’s very name hints at its ethos. “BSIDE / B-side” is a nod to the hidden gems found on the flip sides of records and tapes. Just like those unexpected musical treasures, BSIDE Gallery celebrates originality and authenticity. The gallery has become known for showcasing these hidden gems of the art world, giving them a space to shine. It’s a place where artists like Crisis, Silk Roy, Dose, Michael Cain, and Tommy Dassalo had their debut solo exhibitions. It’s also a space where the works of both local and international artists like Josh Lord, Caper, Will Coles, Said Dokins, Tuyuloveme, and Chaz Bojorquez have found a home. BSIDE Gallery is more than just a gallery; it’s a statement. It’s a declaration that art should be accessible, challenging, and above all, a true reflection of the artists it represents.
