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.
The JPE Artist in Residence program call out is currently open.

Matthew Fortrose
Safety Measures
19 – 30 September 2022
JPE Design Studio
Matthew Fortrose has been involved in project conversations, research and collaborative opportunities at JPE, contributing to the creative process. Exploring concepts of safety and structures Fortrose combines concrete and EPDM rubber into soft and hard surfaces which examine the limitations they present and the archival qualities, both outdoor and as indoor artworks, to question the perceived safety, reliance and trust put in the materials.

Craig Glasson
Form before function
24 February – 28 April 2023
JPE Design Studio
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 firm, 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.

“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

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.
Evolution is an integral part of my practice, which has expanded from jewellery scale objects to both large and small scale sculptural works and installations. Throughout my practice as an artist, I have explored a wide variety of materials, finishes, textural surfaces and forms. This diversity keeps me constantly designing, redesigning, researching and making new explorative works of art.
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.
Henry Wolff
Henry Wolff’s practice is concerned with images that articulate vulnerability in their participation with the world/s of their collaborators. With an empathetic observational methodology, they produce moving image, photographic, and performance works that attend to the power of marginality and diffraction within society. Through attention to human connection, they explore entangled experiences of being, and foster the moral virtues of compassion, care, and love.
Recently Henry has been commissioned by Photo Australia for PHOTO 2022; They are a feature artist for 2022 Gertrude Street Projection Festival; They exhibited in the 2022 Melbourne Art Fair, ‘Precinct Night’ at Collingwood yards; They performed at AGSA with APHIDS for the 2020 Adelaide Biennial of Australian Art; Their work ‘Sibling’ was identified as one of the 125 most exciting artworks from around the world by Aesthetica Art Magazine (UK).
Henry is mentored by Hoda Afshar, Eugenia Lim (2019-present), & Amos Gebhardt, David Rosetzky (2021-2022) through the support of the Centre for Projection Art.
