JPE
Artist in Residence
The JPE Artist in Residence program in partnership with JPE Design Studio is a residency opportunity that will see two artists a year in a creative exchange within the JPE studios, culminating in a work or installation presented during SALA and Fringe.
JPE has been a place where emerging artists can exhibit, engage with studio culture and have an impact on design thinking since 2013. The JPE Artist in Residence Program marks a new chapter of creative exchange in collaboration with Guildhouse.

Safety Measures

Michelle Kelly
Dark Taxa
18 August – 31 October 2023
JPE Design Studio
“My work is about the hidden, the unknown, still to be discovered and yet one of the most important life forms on this planet….Fungi. Through my work I aim to inspire, intrigue and inform my audience of this large but unassuming part of nature.” – Michelle Kelly

Fringe 2024
Henry Wolff
Weōd
23 February – 30 April 2024
JPE Design Studio
Exploring the sites JPE have been involved with has led Henry to collect and archive weeds, acknowledging them as markers for “spaces that are in a state of becoming and unbecoming, evolving and devolving.” Their works identify where care ends and pauses, using lumen prints/solar photograms to consider weeds for their formal qualities instead of their negative connotations.
