Kurb Gallery is always an exciting place to visit, as it is quite raw in conception, varied in visual languages and formats, and you get the pulse of what is happening in Perth. If you want to know what the young artists of Perth are doing, those emerging and not really known by anybody, those trying to break through and out of traditional art-market scene, Kurb is your place.
Kurb is a bit hit and miss, and some exhibitions are great, even fantastic, and others are not. Still, it is nice having the artists there, as some of them are quite nice and you can talk to them.
The artists pay about 300 dollars per week for exhibition, so it is quite normal having several artists exhibiting at the same time, or exhibitions lasting one week or two. Most guys are really young, so this is a lot of money for them.
The pieces exhibited are for sale, some of them really cheap, and others are, on the contrary, overpriced. However, nobody is there pushing to buy anything. Do as you please.
Kurb is worth a visit or several, especially if you live or hang out around Northbridge. It is an alternative place, and, as such, it deserves, our appreciation. There is no hype or pose about it, and that is always fantastic.
