Melbourne Fringe’s iconic, avant-garde furniture exhibition celebrates its 35th year and a new name. Evolving from Fringe Furniture to Design Fringe, it will include an expanded series of virtual projects, design workshops and talks celebrating Melbourne’s extraordinary independent and emerging designers and the ground-breaking works they produce.
Wellness Deity
22 May 2021 > 14 November 2021
Vipoo Srivilasa is a Thai-born Melbourne-based artist, curator and arts activist. This exhibition will present the Wellness Deity
Project, which Srivilasa undertook in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. This collaborative, community-driven project invited people to
submit a drawing of their Wellness Deity, a being that has a special empowering or protective power.
To Feed your Oracle
22 May 2021 > 14 November 2021
Ruth Höflich is an artist and filmmaker, born in Munich, Germany, and currently based in Melbourne. In an installation of video, photography
and site intervention, To Feed Your Oracle will explore how we might understand, or predict, things that we can’t see and how our
expectations might affect how we experience the unknown.
Of Slender Means
29 July 2021 > 29 August 2021
Carolyn Menzies will present a series of sculptural works and charcoal drawings that explore materiality and the intersection of art and
craft. Menzies’ sculptures are made from steel wool and steel mesh. Steel is a hallmark of modern sculptural practice, however Menzies’ use
of the material gently subverts this legacy as the wool and mesh are unashamedly domestic.
