TT Alum George Angelovski presents during Melbourne Design Week
“REFLECTIONS”
How do we navigate the path out of crisis? How do we make good on the issues of climate change, pandemic isolation, economic and educational disparity, and the generational and systemic abuse of our environment? By reflection, by diversity, and by surrounding a problem with different eyes, minds, and experiences, and allowing those reflections to come together in symbiotic and synergistic actions and resolutions.
Reflections brings together a group of creatives from various cultures, ages, social demographics, and widely differing artistic practises. It asks them to reflect on the problems humans face as a local, national and global community and how they can make good through the times they live as makers.
With the global community facing unprecedented multi-layered and far-reaching crises, this exhibition presents different perspectives to both the times in which we stand and the various approaches that one may take to move into the future while acknowledging, and where possible, correcting the errors of the past. By asking such a diverse group of creative people to reflect on how to address the theme of making good, the exhibition presents equally diverse and creative reactive pieces without preconceived notions on the resolution.
HOST | GLOWING STRUCTURES
Glowing Structures is a passionate team of designers, creating bespoke lighting designs and installations for the built environment. A colourful 14 years since its inception, have provided the team with many exciting opportunities to contribute toward the success of many award-winning installations both locally and internationally.
Of the many facets of design the team are involved in, the creative lighting of art, form and sculpture is an area the team are extremely passionate about and relishing the opportunities the new gallery are providing.
The Glowing Structures gallery is a ‘celebration of light’, which we believe is the first of its kind in the world.
The gallery is a space in which local artists and designers can collaborate to use the tools of light to enhance and embellish both art and everyday pieces alike.
The space is to be used to explore ways in which the characteristics of form, texture and colour are enhanced, maximising the potential of each piece through the use of a bespoke lighting solution.
We welcome all creatives and visitors to experience the space and explore how lighting can be used to alter one’s perception of a space or piece. A gallery and space where trial and error are part of the journey, having fun and celebrating light and new discoveries!!
