Just Another Agency

12/07/2024

In partnership with Knox City Council for the 2024 ‘Immerse’ program, we are proud to have curated the work of three incredible First Nations artists; Charlotte Allingham, Jeswri, and Molly Hunt.

The 2024 Immerse event marked the return to physical programming after a five year pandemic hiatus. Immerse promotes ‘Art in Unexpected Places’, and we were honoured to be part of such a thoughtfully curated program to activate and reinvigorate the public realm.

Coinciding with NAIDOC week, the artists submitted a series of digital illustrations in their own style, responding to their perspectives on country, culture and connection. Individually drawing on their unique backgrounds as part of the Wiradjuri and Ngiyampaa, Gadigal, Balanaggarra and Yolngu communities, each work tells the story of the artists personal experiences and individual identities.

Installed into lightboxes at three different locations across the City of Knox, each work was imbued with a glowing effect that complimented and brought to life the artists’ visual narratives. The themes of each piece were highlighted (literally and figuratively) by the innovative light box installation, making a high-impact statement day or night, illuminating the heart of the neighbourhood.

Pop down to see them all for yourself. Link to the locations are in our bio.

"Wow. Today is our 14th birthday. That means it's been 14 years of Just Another.

Those who have met me or know me understand, I'm not often at a loss for words. Always filled with emotion and passion for what we do at Just Another, and those we get to work and collaborate with. However, this year, I'm at a loss for words and yet, still overcome with emotion and passion.

It hasn't been an easy few years. COVID-19 had a profound impact worldwide, bringing challenges that touched us all. I've witnessed galleries, agencies, artists, studios and suppliers close due to immense pressure and economic downturn. The ongoing global challenges and humanitarian crises, along with the everyday stresses of life, are deeply affecting many people, highlighting what truly matters.

Over the years, I've had the privilege of working alongside truly exceptional individuals. Whether they're artists, contractors, volunteers, supporters, clients, or staff members, each person has contributed immensely to the growth and success of Just Another. Their passion and dedication for what we do, have not only enriched the agency but have also helped inspire me personally.

And so, at a loss for words, but still filled with passion and emotion, I extend my deepest thanks and appreciation to our clients, supporters, contractors and artists who have entrusted us with their projects and believed in our vision. Your collaboration and support mean the world to us.

To the Just Another team, and volunteers I want to take a moment to express my heartfelt gratitude. Every day, you bring your creativity, your expertise, and your passion to our projects. It's because of your commitment that we continue to grow and succeed. Together, we are striving to create meaningful experiences and bring creative visions to life, and I am honoured to be on this journey with you.

I look forward to bringing you all another year of Just Another, thank you for the ongoing support, it's genuinely appreciated."

It was an absolute pleasure working with Chuck Mayfield and Creative City Ballarat on the Art Incubator Mural.

In December 2023, Chuck Mayfield transformed a 22m (w) x 14m (h) wall in Field Street, Ballarat. At the heart of the mural, depictions of Bunjil and Waa breach the water’s surface, referencing Lal Lals Falls from the Bunjil origin story, and representing Waa as the protector of the waterways. The water itself is symbolic of the local lakes, creeks, rivers, and has nostalgic ties to the YMCA pool which locals will remember being on this site.

The mural shows Bunjil’s transformation visually from head to tail; through time and motion, becoming more magical and vibrant with a sensational yet refined colour palette, carefully selected after council consultation. Bunjil’ s plumage transitions from natural earthy browns to brightly illuminated colour against a glowing sky. Light comes from his chest to signify his turning into a star. Waa has similar supernatural elements to signify his identity as a deity spirit. Subtle streams of abstract colour and pattern emulate from behind the birds to represent the spirit of creativity and culture evolving from the Ballarat community, driving the culture and community forward into the future.

Both spirits of Bunjil and Waa were included after consultation with Traditional Owner, Bonnie Chew to represent key elements of timelessness, and the ever present history of tradition and storytelling lore. Although these symbols will have different meanings to everyone, they are a common presence in the environment experienced by all. The eagle and crow are symbols that connect us in a way that transcends our differences and even time. They are from ancient indigenous mythology, and can still be seen flying overhead in Ballarat today.

References to colonial history merge with the sky, the land, and the water to represent Ballarat as we know it now, and the symbiotic relationship between the land and all people who live there. These layers in the composition overlay the diverse collection of influences in Ballarat’s cultural offering, and the complexities and layers in human life, psychology, and culture. The colours of the environment blend through this section to instill unity through the whole piece, symbolising the united community of different groups, cultures, and backgrounds as they merge together.

The overarching message of this wall signifies that Ballarat is moving onward and upward with the vibrance of its people’s creative energy. This piece focuses on highlighting common ground in the shared spaces that connect and bond the people who share it, with the hope of increasing community spirit, social cohesion, and a sense of belonging and identity that all residents can take pride in. Importantly, this piece recognises Ballarat’s rich history as a foundation for the bright future to come. It pays homage to all whose lives have touched the area, and those now part of continuing.

Proudly commissioned by the City of Ballarat.

Massive thanks to everyone who came out to the opening of ‘Moving Forward’ by

Moving Forward is about breaking barriers and preconceptions, prompting viewers to think deeply about exactly how they think.

Most people can understand what it’s like to think in pictures; to see images in your mind. For Deaf artist Jaycob Campbell—and many other people in the Deaf community—they experience life at the other end of this spectrum; where they think exclusively in visual form.

This exhibition is a fully immersive experience, straight from the mind of the artist; a look into his innermost thoughts and perceptions of the world in terms of language, expression, gesture, and feeling.

“People often ask me what language I think in internally, and I want to bring it to life and show it to everyone.” – Jaycob Campbell (aka Gonketa)

Presented in partnership with . Proudly supported by

The exhibition runs until January 21, 2024. All artwork is available for purchase via the Just Another Website.

We can’t believe that it’s already the end of year! What a wild year 2023 has been! We’ve been lucky enough to work with some of our favourite artists, in major Institutions like Benalla Art Gallery and National Gallery of Victoria.

Starting the year strong with the NGV Architecture commisison; ‘Temple of Boom’ and wrapping up the year in regional Benalla. We’ve taken street art out of the laneways and on tour, even making friends up in Wagga Wagga along the way! We had the honour of working with over 60 artists, designers, and creatives, across 5 local councils. And we wouldnt trade it for the world.

SOME of this years highlights include:

- ‘Temple of Boom’, at National Gallery of Victoria
- What’s up Stonnington, at Prahran Square
- ‘Time Blind’ Clock Exhibition, at Revolver Upstairs
- The Art Maze: Under the Sea, at Karingal Hub

We already have some incredible projects in the works for next year and can’t wait to show you work by Cax One, David Lee Pereira, Amina Briggs, Veins, Abbey Rich and more!!

Massive thanks to Nella Pixels and Awoken Elk Media for capturing (most) our projects for us!

We hope you all have a fantastic end to your 2023 and we look forward to sharing 2024 with you soon!

Take care,

We are thrilled to be partnering with Benalla Art Gallery to showcase Geelong based, Deaf artist Gonketa’s latest exhibition ‘Moving Forward’.

“People often ask me what language I think in internally, and I want to bring it to life and show it to everyone.

A student asked me this question yesterday: “What can you hear? Like I can hear English inside my head.”

I responded: “I can’t hear; all I can see are visual communications. I imagine how we communicate through body expressions, whether it’s with hands or without them. It’s all visual. Even now, I can see it.”” – Jaycob Campbell (aka Gonketa)

‘Moving Forward’ is about breaking barriers and preconceptions, prompting viewers to think deeply about exactly how they think. Most people can understand what it’s like to think in pictures; to see images in your mind. For Deaf artist Jaycob Campbell—and many other people in the Deaf community—they experience life at the other end of this spectrum; where they think exclusively in visual form.

This exhibition is a fully immersive experience, straight from the mind of the artist; a look into his innermost thoughts and perceptions of the world in terms of language, expression, gesture, and feeling. Using painting as well as three dimensional augmentation, interactive projections, and digital renders, the exhibition is a journey for viewers to immerse themselves in new ways of seeing, thinking, and comprehending. For Jaycob, this is a chance to express himself in new ways, sharing his unique insights and reflections on Deaf culture and making it accessible to all.

Opening Night 6-9pm 15th Dec 2023. Runs until 21st Jan 2024

Presented in partnership with Benalla Art Gallery. Proudly supported by Deaf Connect.

We are beyond thrilled to announce that has just joined our ranks!

Melbourne artist Steve Leadbeater has been exhibiting since the early ‘90s, but he’s been drawing his whole life. Decades as a graphic designer have given him a deep understanding of visual communication.

Leadbeater’s work is driven by contrasts – identity and anonymity, sensitivity and brutality, spirit and form. His expressive mark making produces a kind of wild emotive energy. It helps the work reflect the power, vulnerability and mystery of being human – while retaining a playful naivety. Audiences can expect to be challenged as much as they are rewarded with joy and humour.

Interested in working with Steve? Hit us up!

The Art Maze at Karingal Hub is the newest encapsulating installation from Just Another Agency. The first maze is entirely built around the theme of ‘Under the Sea’ featuring stingrays, whales, fluro coral, (and one giant tentacled surprise) in a delightful and luminous ocean wonderland.

Sink into the magic of this very special underwater installment, and gaze with awe upon murals. Around every corner is a sprawling seascape, lit in neon, colour, and UV lights. Get lost in the eerie marine soundscape by Lost Few as dappled sunlight breaks through from the surface to create an effect as if the ocean itself has risen up to swallow you whole!

Founded in July 2022, Dealers Choice was born out of a shared vision to promote Australian art on a global scale, in 2023, it was adapted to push the boundaries of digital artistry, and to foster new connections between artists and art enthusiasts in Australia and around the world.

Each artist was given a larger-than-life playing card to redesign in their own creative way. The result was a new collector’s edition pack of physical art. Now, each physical card has been digitised with a limited edition made available to purchase and mint on the blockchain forever.

Each piece in the Dealers Choice collection will be exclusively minted by AutoMinter, a leading blockchain-based platform specialising in the creation of digital collectibles. This new technology ensures the uniqueness, ownership, and provenance of every digital artwork, enhancing its value and authenticity.

Just Another represents: ‘Dealer’s Choice’, the digital collectible edition. Featuring 54 Australian artists celebrate 13 years of Just Another Agency.

Whether you’re a regular card shark, a go-fisher, or a soul-crushing Draw Four hoarder; this exhibition will have something for everyone. To celebrate 13 years of Just Another Agency we’re splitting the deck amongst 54 Australian artists we love, and letting them re-imagine, re-design, and re-shuffle the whole game.

Each physical card will be for sale and will coincide with the NFT, so you could end up with a one of a kind physical artwork along with the digital. Plus for those that love a hand of poker, win additional artworks by getting a straight or royal flush!

More exciting than a game of Free-Cell Solitaire on Windows ‘98 – this exhibition will be launched at Oshi Gallery on Friday 21st of July at 6pm (AEST). With a lot of talent, and a little sleight of hand, we can’t wait to see what hands you come up with!

So, four days ago it was the agency’s birthday and frankly, we missed it. Yep, that’s right, we totally forgot! However, the 4th of July made 13 years of Just Another.

To say that we are thankful and appreciative of this achievement is a massive understatement. We are so grateful to all the artists, clients, supporters and staff that have helped over the years make Just Another what it is today. To our friends and family for supporting and loving us through it all and to you for following and encouraging us along the way.

Here is a little reminder of some of the projects we’ve put on, created, produced and curated over the last 13 years. We hope you enjoy them as much as we enjoyed putting them on. Here’s to the next 13 years!

At Just Another we are always honoured to work with such a diverse array of artists.

We're thrilled to release our next installation as part of our 'What's Up Stonnington' immersive installation experiences, 'Hands Up'.

For Deaf artist Jaycob Campbell (AKA Gonketa) hands are a fascinating, complex, and incredibly useful thing. Using unmissable bold, bright colours, and line-work influenced by manga, comic books, pop art and street art, Gonketa explores hand gestures, shape, and form to communicate through sign language on a whole new level. This work empowers the Deaf community and raises awareness about the use and intricacy of sign languages, as it’s also amplified to tell a story that spans across multiple languages, dimensions, and art forms with the help of dynamic augmented reality from Keo Match.

7-23 APRIL | Thursday - Sunday 3-8pm
