Art criticism is so often boring, stuffy, institutional or without a lot to say. Written by the same handful of people who read it, an echo chamber of the same ideas. Exhibition reviews in Melbourne only focus on major events at public and commercial galleries and leave large gaps when looking at the bigger picture of this city as a whole. Lowbrow is here to make this space accessible, focusing on emerging artists and emerging writers, giving a platform to new voices with new things to say. Engaging with the art in Melbourne in a digestible and approachable way. Lowbrow is the creative project of Bec Gynes.

about Bec

I’m a Libra who doesn’t believe in astrology and I’m nursing a mild addiction to Pepsi Max. I’m currently finishing a Master’s of Arts Management at RMIT with focus on curating and community arts engagement. I have an undergrad in Fine Arts from the VCA and hypocritically have a hatred for the institutionalisation of arts education. Email me about anything, I love to chat!
