SEPTEMBER: DISCUSSING AN URBAN INTERIOR OCCUPATION
by representatives of the Urban Interior Research Group
6:30pm Thursday, 11 September at RMIT 8.11.68
As the number of people living in urban areas begins to exceed those in
rural areas, a genuine cultural paradigm shift must be actuated to
accommodate new social relations borne out of innovative technological,
sensory, physiological, environmental and material dimensions. What
might be the role that the spatial disciplines have in this new model of
urban inhabitation? What kinds of inter-relationships between creative
spatial practices demonstrate qualities that enable engagement in and
sustainable inhabitation of the urban condition?
Urban Interior is a creative research group based at RMIT University
investigating how the aesthetics of the spatial + temporal dimensions of
design contribute to and engage with this emerging social condition. How
can temporary inter-related design actions in urban conditions reveal
the kinds of qualities needed to sustain and enrich the increasing
inhabitation of urban areas?
In September 2008, Urban Interior will occupy Craft Victoria, Flinders
Lane Melbourne. The gallery spaces and surroundings will become a
research laboratory to explore the spatial and temporal dimensions of
the inhabited, urban environment. Questioning/ignoring the conventional
10am to 5pm opening hours and white cube display of artefacts, Urban
Interior takes over Craft Victoria through performances, actions,
changes, sound, smell, thoughts, image, discussions, presentations,
night and day; redistributing and enfolding outside and insides,
individuals and collectives. Craft Victoria will be arranged by acts of
crafting as distinct from craft artefacts, by process rather than
outcomes. UI – you and I – will encounter, experience and experiment
with relational conditions in the urban environment of Melbourne.
UI is composed of individuals from a range of disciplines including
fashion, sound, interior design, architecture, industrial design and
art. As a collective, individual research trajectories cover a breadth
of practices, scales and concerns from the intimacy of bodies to events
within the public realm.
The lecture will co-incide with a ‘Visualising Air’ event led by Malte
Wagenfeld happening in the Craft Victoria Occupation. At 7:30pm all are
invited to travel down to Craft Victoria to occupy the event.
