New Exuberance: Contemporary Australian Textile Design
Bringing contemporary art, design and fashion together, New
Exuberance celebrates creative collaboration, sustainability and the
versatility of textile craft. Incorporating graphic, furniture and product
design, fashion and the visual arts, the works play with surface patterning,
material experimentation, storytelling and conceptual ideas.
Australian textile-based practices are flourishing, with
makers finding renewed confidence in community-driven products and
collaborations. The notable visibility of First Nations鈥� practices is partly
due to the passionate vision of new enterprises like First Nations Fashion +
Design, reinforced by meaningful and covetable textile designs produced by
artists across the 鈥楾op End鈥�, in remote art centres and in urban collectives
across the country.
The exhibition showcases the work of more than 30 textile creatives and includes 10 commissioned furniture pieces produced by designers associated with JamFactory.
