In-House opens at Moonah Arts Centre 6pm Thursday 29 June.

The exhibition presents objects which have been developed within the intimate space of the designer’s studio, designed for the intimate space of the house.

In a micro design business, many tasks are performed in-house.

For designers at the prototyping stage, it can be difficult and expensive to source expert advice and hi-tech tools. They therefore often need to acquire new knowledge, skills and techniques, to translate the objects in their heads into physical products “in-house”.

Along the way, they often discover unknown proficiencies, taking projects in unexpected and exciting directions and suggesting new possibilities for future work.

In-House is an exhibition of designed objects by artists from the designed:made inc. collective, a group of designers, makers and artists working with timber, glass, ceramics, metal and textiles. For In-House, each designer/maker/artist chose to focus on an object , destined for use within the home, with many exhibitors exploring new ways of working.

The exhibition is on display at Moonah Arts Centre from 30 June – 22 July, free entry.
Exhibiting artists include: Svend Madsen, Duncan Meerding, Alana D’Allura, Emma Bugg, Christine Hannan, Alex Parish, Sharon Moore, Till Julien, Penny Mason, Tanya Maxwell, Murray Jessup, and Christiane Knight, David Pannell, Jye Edwards, Linda Fredheim, and Rengin Guner.
