04 April 2014–28 April 2014

After 2 years in Melbourne’s most contemporary corridor, DUDSPACE finally emerges from its confines to take over the entire space of KINGS Artist Run. For dudproject #1 the curatorial rationale is simple: artists cannot utilise any of the conventional gallery spaces. What is left is an empty gallery. The bare bones uncovered, the DUD spaces evident.

DUDSPACE has always been about great art in a shit space. dudproject #1 extends this notion further, by forcing artists to think outside the white cube. By inserting them back into the traditional space it forces them to re-re-contextualise their work once again. DUDSPACE allows the cream to rise to the top, and the shit to sink to the bottom.

See all projects by:


  • Annabelle Kingston is a Filipinx-Australian artist and musician. In addition to her painting practice, Annabelle is one half of art/design duo Paradise Structures, makes experimental pop music under the name Waterfall Person, and co-runs a shop called Perfect Splash. Her recent solo shows include “Fart or Flight” and “Annabelle’s F*r*i*e*n*d”. Her painting "Waterfall (on tour with Mum)" is based on a true story.
  • Jimmy Nuttall is a queer cross-disciplinary artist based in Naarm/Melbourne. He uses video and performance to ruminate on the figurative body. His work oscillates between improvised and written non-linear narratives; directing people as muse, documentary subject or actor. In 2018 Jimmy was the recipient of the Freedman Travelling Scholarship and the Churchie National Emerging Art Prize: Special Commendation. In 2019 he will commence a Masters of Art in Artists’ Filmmaking and Moving Image at Goldsmiths’ University of London. Recent shows include: Oleanders blooming in the heat, Seventh, 2019; I am crying, Firstdraft, Sydney, 2017; Interior Monologues, True Estate, 2017; Arsehole turns inside out, rest of body reluctantly follows, Pansy 2017; and GINA, Bus Projects, 2016. He has held a residencies at Frontyard Projects Inc. in Marrickville, Sydney, 2017 and NARS Foundation in New York City in 2014. In 2018 he participated in a collaborative residency with Olivia Koh and Nicholas Smith at NextWave’s Brunswick Mechanics Institute.
  • In absurdist assemblages of ready-mades and videos, Lou Hubbard combines existing and imagined personal narratives with artistic and literary references to confound expected associations among images and meaning. Hubbard exhibits across Australia and internationally and is represented by Sarah Scout Presents, Melbourne. She teaches in the School of Art VCA.
  • Lyndal May Stewart is a Melbourne-based artist and curator. Stewart holds a Bachelor of Fine Art (2011) from the Victorian College of the Arts and is the Co-Director of DUDSPACE and a committee member of KINGS Artist Run.
