1301SW was founded in 2022 in Naarm/Melbourne’s inner-south, shaped by perspectives interspersed across the Pacific via sister galleries 1301PE, Los Angeles and STARKWHITE, Auckland. The gallery program embraces the region whilst also having strong roots internationally, making 1301SW a definitive home for both local and international art in Australia. Extending from its Melbourne base, 1301SW expanded its unique and ambitious exhibition program to Gadigal/Sydney with the opening of a second gallery space in October 2024.

1301SW acknowledges the Traditional Owners of the land on which we live and work, the people of the Kulin and Eora Nations. We pay respect to Elders past and present, and recognise their continued connection to culture, land, waters and community.
