Opening hours: 11am-5pm Tuesday-Sunday
An unsolicited proposal originates from a private entity (either for profit or not-for-profit) that does not fit into existing procurement processes and is submitted without formally being requested by the government.*
Artists create unsolicited proposals throughout their practice; unbidden, they explore and present new ways of looking, and speculate about our past, present and future. These explorations revitalise mediums and materials, draw our attention to histories that have been overlooked and speak to a new future in the grips of climate change.The Unsolicited Proposals Unit is an exhibition that brings together works by seven artists from South Australia. The exhibition takes the work of the Unsolicited Proposals Team, who are part of the South Australian Treasury and Finance Department, using their guidelines as a framework through which to present and discuss the exhibition works.
The Unsolicited Proposals Unit is generously supported by the South Australian Government through the Department of Premier and Cabinet.
Open to the public from 11am Saturday 5 December
