The common language of things is often motivated by functionality and capability. Undeniably, the tactility of an object is evident, but the value lies not only in its physical qualities, but in what emotions it evokes. Vitrine: Object and Identity is an invitation to reflect upon the significance of objects and how they can shape and reflect our identity.
The exhibition serves as an opportunity for visitors to engage and appreciate how the relationship between object, people and place can act as a foundation for self-expression and creativity.
At the heart of the exhibition are the participants themselves. Together representing a bond between art and design, avoiding distinction, and embracing an uncomplicated union.
Participants include: Anna Varendorff, Bronwyn Sargeson, Brud Studia, Fiona J Schoer, Isabella Mackay-Sim, Jay Jermyn, Jeremy Blincoe, Marlo Lyda, Matt Bromhead, Peter D Cole, Tamara Maynes, Welfe Bowyer, Yvette James.
