It's About Time

Set within a room painted to reference the building's origins, It's About Time, featured oversized bootlegged dust jackets and book covers related to 60's counterculture, historical mash-ups, speculation, and science fiction Created to emphasize the containment of ideas, culture, and historical precedents the elements were dynamically staged in a sculptural installation. Taking cues from Tony Fry's "A New Design Philosophy," the exhibition addressed specific research on time through the themes and subjects addressed in the books identified by the oversized dust jackets that are splayed over one another in the installation. This innovative strategy to communicate complex relationships between ideas provides new ways of bridging modes of thinking and offers unique perspectives by physically unpacking research methods supported by overarching concepts relating to time. The exhibition was held at Conners Conners Gallery, a gallery renowned for its curatorial rigour that showcases leading contemporary artist practices in Australia. This exhibition makes a valuable contribution to the fields of art and design by reimagining the intersection between time, history, and ideas.
