Fashion, Décor, Interior

About the exhibition
Curated by Natalie King, this group exhibition featured three artists who incorporated aspects of design into their work, engaging with architectural spaces, commodity aesthetics, mural design or fashion. With reference to Marcel Broodthaers’s Décors works as exhibited in 1975, fashion, décor, interior sought to investigate style and design within the gallery context, bringing these ubiquitous  modalities into dialogue with conceptual art. Stephen Bram’s geometric paintings and converging floor sculptures involved computer-aided spatial representations and explorations of perspective. Tony Clark’s paintings examined the history of style by reworking classical architectural ornaments, bulbous balustrades and Jasperware vase designs. Lyndal Walker, then a recent art school graduate, presented a series of Cibachrome prints and mixed-media works capturing the contemporary and retro fashion of the grunge era.
