In this MSSI public lecture, Tim Kasser will review two decades of psychological theory and research on values to show how contemporary culture’s focus on materialism and consumerism must be confronted if humans are to create a sustainable future.

He will present a strategic approach to reduce materialism via empirically-supported psychological interventions and broader social policies that would not only benefit the planet, but would promote people’s well-being and a more civil society.

Fragrance permeates the garments: books, constructions and drawings – an exhibition by Alex Selenitsch.

Dates: 9.00am - 5.00pm, 3 - 19 September
Venue: Wunderlich Gallery, 757 Swanston

Inspired by photographs of Chinese garden screens taken by Melbourne artist Craig Easton, and a poem by Kosen Shoten (Gaoquin Xingdun, 1633-95), these works were (except for the books) made of materials from waste bins in the Faculty’s Construction Workshops and the FabLab, and then used as found.

The works explore ways in which layers can be composed so that each material can be appreciated for itself, while focusing attention on something beyond the layers.

Dr. Alex Selenitsch is Senior Lecturer in Architecture at the Faculty of Architecture, Building and Planning.
