Abstract
This article explores how to integrate the collective creation of contemporary art exhibitions, and how to transform exhibition works into contemporary language and novel visual art materials, thereby generating cultural exchange between Australia and Spain. The Space Between Us (2017- ), co-curated by Australian artist-curator Wilson Yeung and Spanish artist Estefanía Salas Llopis, resolve these questions by examining the contemporary art exhibition. This paper also asks how to transform art exhibitions into laboratories, how artists and curators work together in a collective innovation environment, how collective creation generates new knowledge, and how to develop collective creation among creative participants from different cultures and backgrounds.

Summary
The Space Between Us is a site-specific collaborative exhibition that focuses on artistic collaboration and cultural exchanges between artists and curators in Melbourne, Australia and Valencia, Spain. The purpose of curating this exhibition is to provide social and material spaces for creative practitioners from the two places to participate in this transitional cross-cultural collaboration and allow them to consider collaborative curation in contemporary art production. The exhibition was held at RMIT‟s First Site Gallery from August the 9th to 18th, 2017 [Fig. 1.]. It included an opening ceremony, performance event, artist talk, and artist-in-residency program. THE SPACE BETWEEN US This practice-based research project took the contemporary global process as the theme. It explored the ideas of the art innovation, with particular attention to artistic collaboration and how creative practitioners of different cultures and backgrounds work collectively in art production.
