.
Most of June was spent in Prague overseeing the exhibition of Australian work for the
Prague Quadrennial of Performance Space and Design. Working with the unstoppable Erin Milne from Bureau of Works , we were thrilled to feature four Australian key works as well as support and promote the work of several other Australian artists who would not otherwise have this exposure. Constant crowds around the Australian exhibition were a definite sign of the success of the event and Latai Taumoepeau winning one of the highly coveted Best Performance Design Awards was the the icing on the cake. It was also fantastic to be a conduit for so many new relationships and we were honoured to have such amazing and generous support from Australian designers and makers who gave their time to help us realise this event.
As part of PQAU we have also begun the first stage roll out of Impossible project, It is a growing collection of works that were dreamt up but never made. Collected from a variety of amazing artists, designers, writers, performance makers and activists. The project celebrates the creative process; how failed projects often spawn highly successful ones and questions what makes something impossible ..... or not. Find out more about the collection at theimpossibleproject.com.au or follow the collection as it grows on Instagram.
