ARTICULATION: Guided Tours

Using the three Greek concepts relating to words - 'Logos,' the uttered word; 'Graphe,' the written or codified word; and 'Rhema,' the revelatory word, the designers and artists investigate these connections through the lens of various creative approaches, such as poetry, sculpture, furniture design, lighting, object creation, and rug design. 













These concepts form the thematic foundation to provide distinct sections within the exhibition. Using Bliss Symbols, to think, to speak and to write as plinths and structures, this ideographic writing system contributes to the overarching dialogue between the tangible and intangible, spoken and silent, abstract and concrete.

Explore Elsewhere by Tulmur/Ipswich-based artist Kirralee Robinson, and enter a world where discarded objects are transformed into art that challenges disposability and celebrates curiosity and care.

This exhibition features a series of minimalist, futuristic sculptures crafted from industrial materials, merging seamlessly with the gallery space while evoking the essence of science fiction. Robinson's pieces, animated by light and movement, draw viewers into alternate dimensions and unseen phenomena of our world.&nbsp;



Through mirrors, metals, and motion, she captures the extraordinary in the ordinary, embodying her ecofeminist ethos and commitment to sustainability.

Merging the visual storytelling of design, the poetic elements of language, and the beauty of artistic expression, design.it explores how these elements connect and empower effective communication and meaningful creation.

Experiment with different design tools and techniques, drawing inspiration from the surrounding artwork. 

 





Unleash your imagination and learn to shape your ideas into tangible masterpieces.
