Transmit|Outward, Inflection’s annual exhibition for 2015, explores the theme of projection and its relationship to the creative process as a perpetual state of becoming.

Transmit|Outward questions pre-existing notions of the architectural exhibition through a combination of crowd-sourced submissions, installations and events.

Featuring work from international and Australian architects, academics, artists and students, the exhibition showcases pieces that respond to the theme of projection. These works will be presented alongside collaborative events that investigate creative possibilities latent within the design process.

Global Architectural Profiling (GAP) seeks to cultivate cross cultural ties between Melbourne and cities around the world by organising an annual public exhibition to showcase design and architecture from different urban centres across the globe.

The sixth annual GAP exhibition at the University of Melbourne in  features design and architecture from Casablanca, Kingdom of Morocco. 

The exhibition runs from 22 September - 2 October in the Andrew Lee King Fun Gallery, MSD building.

Brunswick Street Gallery invites submissions for their 2015 design exhibition, RENDER, which will be held from 30 October to 12 November, 2015.

Initiated in 2014 as an annual occurrence, RENDER was a very successfully received and well attended exhibition. Work from emerging designers included print design, textile design, industrial design, furniture and jewellery design, 3D printing, homewares, typography, small object, packaging, apps and graphic design.

Intending to bridge a gap between the gallery environment and the design fair, the exhibition focusses on the importance of connecting client communities and emerging designers.

Contact Miriam Arbus with expressions of interest and questions.
