The Honeymoon Suite - [ a r t p r o j e c t s p a c e ]


    The Honeymoon Suite is a contemporary art collective based in Dunedin. The Suite is committed to the development of art initiatives, that engage contemporary social issues within both national and international art discourses.
    The Honeymoon Suite provides facilitation of, and a space for, progressive art projects: exhibitions, performances, film & video screenings, and touring shows, by artists from New Zealand and abroad.
    In addition to our standard two-week exhibition format we are also interested in one off events, performance, film screenings, etc.

    We can also assist in the administration of projects that fall outside our regular gallery programme or utilise venues other than the gallery space.

 The Honeymoon Suite also have a website
that can be utilised by artists and curators. This site is
available for specific Internet works, or as a digital component of shows in our physical gallery space.

The Honeymoon Suite actively seeks exhibition and project proposals from artists and curators.

Proposals should include:
- an outline of the project
- a clear account of what form the project will take, what equipment will be required and what logistical problems are anticipated 		bed
- a brief curriculum vitae (include previous exhibitions, reviews, publications)
- documentation of previous work (slides and photographs both ok) 		office
Promotion The Suite can provide a mailing list, but the production and distribution of invitations / posters is the responsibility of the exhibitor. We are also able to assist with design work and layout of promotional material.
   The Honeymoon Suite notifies local and national print media, radio and television of upcoming events and exhibitions. 		suitcase Exhibition duration / opening hours Standard exhibition length is two weeks (Wednesday to Saturday), but The Honeymoon Suite is flexible regarding shorter or longer projects. Regular gallery hours are 11.00 - 5.30 Wednesday to Friday, and 11.00 - 4.00 Saturday.
   Gallery co-ordinators can supervise the space during regular gallery hours, although it is appreciated if artists are able to assist with the supervision of their show. 		Audience Since opening, our strongest audience has consisted of local artists, critics, writers, and art/s students. The Honeymoon Suite also attracts a more general public audience because of its central location and proximity to the Public Art Gallery, dealer galleries, cafes etc.
main room Exhibition costs The cost of a standard two-week show is $160, which includes rental of the space and power. A deposit of $20 will secure an show, and must be paid at least two weeks prior to the exhibition. The balance is to be paid prior to the installation of the show. It is our aim as a non-profit artist-run space to keep exhibitors costs to a minimum.
   Exhibitors are free to offer their work for sale; The Honeymoon Suite will take no commission from these sales. 		main room Project Installation
The project installation time is the Sunday - Tuesday prior to an exhibition. The Honeymoon Suite can assist with installation and organisation but it is expected that it will be the responsibility of the artist. All work must be removed immediately after closing on Saturday and the space returned to it’s original condition, unless other arrangements are made. All repainting and retouching is the responsibility of the artist.

Transportation of work to and from the gallery must be arranged by the artist.

The Honeymoon Suite can supply paint and filler for touch ups, and is building a small supply of tools, nails screws, cleaning products etc. We can also assist with sourcing of audio-visual equipment. 		next

Damage of work Unfortunately The Honeymoon Suite is unable to take responsibility for the loss or damage of any artworks. As a small not-for-profit organisation we cannot provide insurance cover for gallery contents.
martini Openings
Usually openings are on the Tuesday evening preceding the exhibition, but the exact date and time of the function is up to the artist. The Honeymoon Suite can assist with organisation of an opening function, but all costs must be met by the exhibitor. 		door Mailing List The Honeymoon Suite has both an e-mail and regular mailing list.
