Design Hunter Guide: 5 ways to hibernate during winter
We’ve got the perfect antidote to the cold weather – read on for ways to stay warm, and indulge your inner, winter, Design Hunter.
20 Years on: Zuster
We are naturally drawn to celebrating new designers, and rightly so; new energy and creative talent is inspiring and exciting. It is also significant to celebrate designers’ milestones and longevity, to recognise those who continue to create year after year and at the same level of quality they began.
Celebrating Design from our region and beyond
Australia has a pool of talented designers on our doorstep, plus a well-established connection to the Region surrounding us. Celebrating the links we have, we look at both sole practitioners and distributors that make up our global design community. With Melbourne Indesign around the corner, where many of these names will be exhibiting, you can even follow these up in the flesh. A win-win for Design Hunters.
Art that changes your experience of place
Site-specific art – as its name suggests – is intrinsically intertwined with place. Informed by a pre-existing landscape or built into one, art and place alter each other. We delve into the practice and talk to the artists who create it.
Site-Specific Art: Emma Coulter
Emma Coulter’s site-specific work has a direct link with her background in painting and interior architecture. Blending the two lets her explore the ideas that overlap between them, de-constructing and re-constructing a space to using a refined palette to create something new.
SITE-SPECIFIC ART: Klara
Klara is a Melbourne-based street and studio artist, combining painting, illustration, paste-ups, stencil, installation and more. For Klara, the more she delves into her practise, the more site-specific it becomes. We find out why.
SITE-SPECIFIC ART: Suki
For Suki, site-specific art can work both ways; sometimes the site comes first and other times it’s the idea. Here is her take on art that alters our experience of place.
