The Glue Society Studios opens in Alexandria
The Glue Society today opens a new studio and art facility in Sydney’s Alexandria – which can be hired out by the creative community for the execution of editorial, advertising and design projects.
The 800m2 warehouse space features a fully equipped photographic cyclorama, design and construction workshop, editing and grading suites, and doubles as an exhibition and event space.
Says Jonathan Kneebone, co-founder, The Glue Society: “For many years we’ve been wanting to set up a studio which allowed for a more immediate mixing of craft and concept – in a much more hands on way. But we also wanted to establish something that would have a broader benefit than
just ourselves or for our own projects.
“And this space has been designed to allow craft to flourish and encourage a more experimental approach to making ideas a reality.”
The various facilities are available for hire by contacting the studio manager, Scott Stirling via The Glue Society Studio website – www.gluesocietystudios.com or on (02) 9667 4587.
Prior to this official opening, the studio has already housed a number of events including a photographic exhibition for Sark Clothing, featuring the work of image-makers from around the world, and the D&AD/Google New Blood Academy workshop, where 30 students conceived, photographed, filmed and presented a solution to a brief within one day.
Other recent projects included the design work for the latest ANZ GAYTM installations, photography of the Australian Brandenburg Orchestra, and the filming of a music video for the Polish Club.
The Glue Society Studios will also house the upcoming Sydney leg of the Ciclope Festival world tour on Thursday 23 April.
Other upcoming initiatives include a series of Creative Masterclasses – where industry professionals and students can participate in Life Drawing, Photography and Cinematography courses.
