OBJECT FUTURE III

Since its humble beginnings in 2013, OBJECT FUTURE has become an annual platform in the Melbourne design community for exhibiting a combination of commercial and experimental design outcomes. With the constantly changing landscape of contemporary design practice in Australia, there is the continued need to represent emerging and established practitioners. Expansive in scope, and unbound by an aesthetic or conceptual modus operandi, OBJECT FUTURE becomes a democratic representation of a variety of objects, ideas and processes.

OBJECT FUTURE III is the first opportunity in the three year long project where six designers have been commissioned one year prior to its opening to make an object for the exhibition. In asking the contributors to reflect on their own practice and contemporary creative production, the exhibition presents a consideration into how and why objects are made. No constraint was outlined, allowing the contributors to respond specifically to the exhibition space, with the process through which they traversed determining the final outcome.

OBJECT FUTURE III, 2015–2016 at Linden New Art presents six contributors: A.C.V Studio, Hugh Altschwager (Insktermaken), Amos Enders-Moje (Mo-En Design), Rosanna Ceravolo (Rosanna Ceravolo Design), Haslett Grounds and Kate Stokes (Coco Flip) and Hamish Munro.
