A prototype of a multipurpose portable shelter made in response to Melbourne’s housing shortages and skyrocketing rents.

Plans for the shelter include; an exhibition/performance space, a children's playhouse and a pop-up shop. Artist Dylan Martorell will build a sonic garden inside the shelter consisting of fungi, water plants and field recordings. Sunday Morning Designs have created a multipurpose waterproof textile that will function as a canopy for the structure. The textile, made up of patchworked re-used market bags and tarpaulins, will also be used to create different domestic products inside the space such as lamps and cushions, providing a further sense of comfort and protection from the outside elements.

Dates: Monday 24 August – Saturday 12 September

Objects, garments and accessories made exclusively of things gleaned from the kitchen’s mouldy corners and dusty fourth drawer.

Clothing designer Ellie Mücke creates with a focus on more inclusive systems, whose highly considered approach often results in outcomes that stimulate discussion and encourage creative thinking. Metalsmith John Hall's formal training in jewellery and years working in the manual crafts, whilst maintaining his own creative pursuits, have given him a vast multidisciplinary technical understanding. Together, these two makers with contrasting material knowledge have found common ground in the kitchen, exploring ways to transform the everyday object.
