Form before function.
Continuing a research-led investigation into notions of multi-dimensional space and the investment of time, emerging South Australian artist, Craig Glasson, provides a creative response to his experience as Artist in Residence at leading Adelaide architecture and design practice, JPE Design Studio.
Through engagement with architects; an expansive archive of projects; and architectural conventions, representations and materials, the artist seeks to reinterpret and challenge perceptions of the built environment by presenting a series of artworks that provide sites of improbability, proposition, and fantasy.
This residency opportunity sees two artists a year in a creative exchange within the JPE studios, culminating in a work or installation presented during SALA and Fringe.
JPE Design Studio has been a place where emerging artists can exhibit, engage with studio culture and have an impact on design thinking since 2013. The JPE Art in Residence program marks a new chapter of creative exchange in collaboration with Guildhouse.
