When we think of home it's a deeply private space, a refuge and a sanctuary from the outside world. A place to call our own. While our homes are deeply personal, housing is a public matter. There is a collective responsibility to make sure people have a home.  So what happens when the public and private meet? Guled Eylas is an architecturally trained multi-disciplinary artist, who is interested in the connections people make with the built environment and the idea of home. Growing up in one of Melbourne's high rise public housing estates, Guled has been fascinated by the contrasts within these spaces and the contrasts in perceptions around public housing from those who live there and those who don't. His latest exhibition, Personal But Not Private, seeks to spark conversations and understanding around the multifaceted relationship between public housing and home. Personal But Not Private is presented by NH Architecture + Guled Elyas. It  will be on display from 18-26 May as part of Melbourne Design Week at RMIT Design Hub level 3 entry foyer, corner Victoria and Swanston Streets, Carlton. Find more Blueprint For Living via the ABC Listen app or wherever you get your podcasts.

In her performances, sculptures, photographic works and video installations Margret Wibmer explores relations between bodies, objects and spaces. Using ambiguity and the principle of chance as a methodology to deconstruct internalized processes, norms and values deeply embedded within our societies, she creates transient ‘realities' that explore new strategies for connecting us with the world and with others. This becomes particularly apparent in her participatory performances such as Relay where she uses choreographic elements, sound and textile props to engage the public as co-generators in her work. She frequently collaborates with dancers, composers and writers. Margret Wibmer was born in Lienz, Austria. After her studies at the University of Applied Arts in Vienna, she spent a large part of the 1980s in New York where she worked as assistant for Sol Lewitt together with Kazuko Miyamoto. Since her first exhibition at Fashion Moda in the South Bronx, she has exhibited and performed internationally in venues such as Palais de Tokyo in Paris (2016, 2017), RMIT Design Hub in Melbourne (2015), Oude Kerk Amsterdam (2014, 2019), Ishikawa Nishida Kitaro Museum of Philosophy in Japan (2013); KAI 10 – Arthena Foundation in Düsseldorf (2012), Kunstpavillon Innsbruck (2006). Her works have been featured in publications such Sony Style Magazine and Vestoy, monographies have been published by Kerber Verlag (2010) and VfmK – Verlag für Moderne Kunst (2020). She has received grants from the Pollock-Krasner Foundation, Mondriaan Fonds, Prins Bernhard Cultuurfonds / Tijlfonds, Land Tirol, Austrian Federal Ministry for Arts and Culture among others. Her work is included in private and public collections in Europe and beyond. She lives in Amsterdam, The Netherlands and is currently teaching online at Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts in Singapore.

Sight is the most privileged sense when we think of cities and landscapes – but how do we listen and embody these spaces, and how do they appear to those who can’t see? How does architecture feel, how does it impact our bodies? Who is it designed for and who isn’t there? What does Antarctica, or Melbourne, sound like? How do you design for sound: from concert halls to the local pub? Does silence exist? Supercast is a new podcast by Assemble Papers x RMIT Design Hub, launching in May 2018.

Australian dancer and choreographer Atlanta Eke brought us 'Wetware', a performance concerned with time travel. The work, a response to the RMIT Design Hub’s Occupied exhibition and further developed for MPavilion, imagined that architects from 2050 had travelled back in time via the digital universe to share a dystopian tale from a near future; a drowned world where land-based life has returned to the sea. The performance of 'Wetware' was followed by a related panel discussion entitled ‘The architecture of display: Scenography as an agent for performance and design’, and included such noteworthy participants as Atlanta Eke herself, Fleur Watson of RMIT Design Hub, David Neustein, and Grace Mortlock of Otherothers. Listen back to to Atlanta Eke’s performance and keep it locked for the talk!

Consortium: A series of conversations within a series of talks—presented by a coalition of partners who support emerging and experimental art and design practices in Melbourne and beyond. This first Consortium of the 2015/16 season brought Next Wave, Gertrude Contemporary, West Space, RMIT Design Hub and MPavilion got together to consort on invisible hands. The panel—including artists Anastasia Klose, Lou Hubbard and Liang Luscombe, writer and artist Aurelia Guo, and writer and feminist Eva Birch—asks: What kinds of emotional, affective and otherwise-hidden forms of unwaged labour hold up the art industry? To whom is this work relegated? What’s the relation between caring and sharing, and working and performing? In other words, what are the professional and social obligations of artists? And how can one strike or resist these un-unionised forms of ‘invisible’ labour? Following the discussion, DJ and artist Lisa Lerkenfeldt will play a selection of music taking inspiration from notions of anachronism and lesser-known female music histories. Let us know what you think #MPavilion Image: Helen Hughes, ‘Watching Pickpocket’, 2015

What happens when you combine elements of a sewing machine and an industrial knitting machine? If you’re British-based inventor Oluwaseyi Sosanya, you develop the 3D Weaver—a loom specially designed for weaving in three dimensions. From its Honeycomb and ZigZag weaves to the compressible 0~90 pattern, the machine has potential applications in industries spanning medicine, aerospace, architecture and even sportswear. In this special MTalks event, moderated by RMIT Design Hub curator Fleur Watson and presented by the GREAT Britain campaign, the British Council and MPavilion, Oluwaseyi will be joined by Paul Stoller, managing director of London-founded Atelier Ten’s Australian office. As design consultants and building service engineers, Atelier Ten have worked on large-scale sustainable projects both in Australia (such as the original environmental concepts for Federation Square) and overseas (including Singapore’s 101-hectare Gardens by the Bay), while Paul himself has been recognised by the US Green Building Council for his leadership in environmental design. Listen in as Oluwaseyi discusses the 3D Weaver project before he and Paul speak more broadly about taking risks and working laterally, and collaboratively, to develop new ways of design thinking and making.

For this discussion, our panellists delved into the idea of galleries as ‘testing spaces’ for risk, experiment, play and speculation. Following an introduction from RMIT Design Hub curator Fleur Watson, artist and landscape architect Charles Anderson and arts academic Jondi Keane exchanged ideas about their new RMIT Design Hub exhibition slash laboratory space: Technics & Touch: Body-Matter-Machine. The experimental project explores methods of producing feedback systems through perception and action cycles—and by working alongside a robot. Using their temporary lab as a springboard, Charles and Jondi will explore how gallery spaces can present exciting opportunities for autonomous intelligence systems to interact with performers and the public—meaning further interactions between arts organisations and new technology. Will this change the function of gallery spaces as we know them? And how will the artist’s role change with these developments?

It’s time for Consortium, round two! This brought Gertrude Contemporary, West Space, RMIT Design Hub and Next Wave presenting the second in our series of conversations about the issues within (and surrounding) emerging and experimental art and design. At our inaugural discussion, a panel of artists, writers and feminists spoke honestly and thoughtfully about art’s many invisible hands. This time around, we dived into the choppy waters of art and gentrification. Gertrude Contemporary director Emma Crimmings will chat to artists Zanny Begg, Sean Dockray and Phillip Adams about how gentrification creates a lack of affordable housing—and how this affects arts organisations. How can galleries, studios, festivals and practices critically engage with the issues surrounding gentrification while creatively developing sustainable—and affordable—spaces for art? What will happen to art and artists if rent continues to skyrocket? #MPavilion

De Anima, by Brook Andrew, was a major new video installation on display at RMIT Design Hub from 12 December 2014 to 14 February 2015. In this MTalk, presented by RMIT Design Hub, Justin Shoulder and Mama Alto revisit their performances from De Anima in a live response to the film’s composition by Theodore Wohng. Their performance is followed by a Q&A with Brook Andrew, Theodore Wohng, Justin Shoulder, Mama Alto and RMIT Design Hub curators Fleur Watson and Kate Rhodes. http://www.mpavilion.org/program/mtalks-rmit-design-hub

Sean Godsell, architect of the inaugural MPavilion, in conversation with Melbourne Festival creative director Josephine Ridge. Hear how Sean’s pavilion was inspired by pragmatic design responses to the Australian landscape—as well as outback sheds and verandas—and how his versatile and welcoming design echoes the way plants respond to the sun. This flair for flexibility and sustainability is a hallmark of Sean’s architectural practice, visible in previous works such as the ‘breathable’ photovoltaic skin of his RMIT Design Hub, and his award-winning Future Shack. http://www.mpavilion.org/program/mtalks-melbourne-festival-sean-godsell-with-josephine-ridge

Sean Godsell is director of Sean Godsell Architects, Melbourne. Notable projects include the RMIT Design Hub, winner of the 2013 RAIA National Award for Public Architecture, and the St Andrews Beach House, winner of the 2006 RAIA Robin Boyd Award.

Professor Margaret Gardner (Vice Chancellor of RMIT University) talks to Stephen about the new RMIT Design Hub, under construction on the iconic CUB site. Designed by the architect Sean Godsell, this exciting initiative will be a model of sustainable building design, hosting RMIT’s new Design Research Institute, as well as providing a vibrant, innovative space for collaboration between academics, researchers, students and industry.
