‘HEAD OVER HEELS’
FEB 13  - MAR 16
Exhibition 

The world is getting smaller. The internet binds us all together - we no longer see ourselves as belonging here or there, but everywhere. There is a privilege to this state of omnipresence, and it prompts us to inhabit and express what shapes our broader sense of belonging. As it is our fifth year, we are approaching the 2025 calendar with a galvanised sense of self, entrenched in our irreverent ways and unapologetic about our perspectives and obsessions.

This show brings together select works from a sporadic cohort of designers, based both locally and internationally, each connected through their robust material and aesthetic preoccupations and their distinctly playful and provocative sensibilities. These are not passive objects destined to disappear into the background and whither into obscurity. While functional, they demand space and attention, validation. These objects are raising our children - replacing our children - loved like children.

MELBOURNE ART FAIR 2025
FEB 20 - FEB 23, 2025

REQUEST CATALOGUE;

When we were invited to contribute once more to Melbourne Art Fair, designing and curating the hospitality/VIP space, we knew we wanted to take a drastically different approach and frustrate any sense of expectation. Previously we had explored hardness, deconstruction and the interconnected language of materials in a space that felt quite open and voyeuristic. This year we were drawn towards the concept of something encased, and began to imagine wrapping the space in sinew and muscle, a membrane that could feel eerily and also comfortingly human.

For us, the urge to explore domesticity and its various iterations instinctively merges with questions of the bodily ‘self’. We wanted to explore sensation and movement as ultimate drivers of connection and association, and subsequently have curated a selection of works and forms by artists and designers we are obsessed with, inviting them to populate this space and bring it to life with elements of colour, texture, sound and a pervasive sense of speculation. Featuring works by Adam Cornish, BMDO, Brud Studia, Cordon Salon, Eduardo Wolfe-Alegría, Huseyin Sami, James Lemon and Lauren Dunn, the space is both a container for these works and for guests, and a distinctively tactile form of its own. Fortunately for those attending, due to our vested hatred for rented furniture Brud have provided a range of chairs and tables for practical use throughout the space.

We look forward to welcoming visitors to experience what we’ve created, and remember, you’re all VIP’s in our heart (if not in reality). We would like to give our profuse thanks to the Melbourne Art Foundation for including us once again, and for the truly outstanding and important work you do for our community.
