In early 2009, Joint Hassles were edged out of their gallery space in Northcote due to Melbourne’s inner-city rent hikes. On becoming spaceless the Joint Hassles artists have climbed out of the white cube and been making friends… hosting art events in bedrooms, backyards, public parks and music venues. In the interests of sharing, Hell Gallery decided to offer up its premises. Joint Hassles asked if they could bring a mate and a third gallery was invited to the party. Gambia Castle is a gallery co-operative based in Auckland, NZ. Sharing similar ideologies in community and collaboration, Joint Hassles and Gambia Castle will come together at Hell Gallery in a group show of over twenty artists.
