Melbourne Fringe is calling all Australian based artists and designers, emerging and established, to submit new work for Fringe Furniture 2009.
This year’s theme, SILVER, encourages designers to explore the visual, physical and symbolic properties of this bright metallic. A colour that is impossible to represent digitally; the metal associated with the moon and the human soul. From silver birch timber, to the silverpoint drawing techniques used by Medieval scribes. Judas’ bribe. Mohammed’s ring. A silver bullet: the straightforward yet very effective solution, the new idea that magically overcomes a difficult and pervasive problem.
Fringe Furniture is an open exhibition and welcomes a variety of furniture, lighting, homewares, wearable objects, permanent and ephemeral works. Recognised as an experimental playground, Fringe Furniture provides a democratic and accessible platform that connects artists and designers to broad and valuable audiences. Past exhibitors include Rivet’s David Bourke, Marc Pascal, Chris Connel, Daniel Barbera and Malte Wagenfield.
