Gallery 2

Gallery 2 is a covered space; it is a finished space.

A temporary consistency poised for the moment of exhibition.

The inflections here are textual.

Ideas and exclamations, selected quotes and references, catalogues and drafts.

The collection comes from research conducted through exhibition, curatorial and writing practice addressing questions of interior and interiority.

Since 1992, Suzie Attiwill has maintained an independent practice involving the design of exhibitions, curatorial work, writing and working on a range of interdisciplinary projects in Australia and overseas. From 1996-1999, she was the artistic director of Craft Victoria. Suzie has Bachelor qualifications in Interior Design and Fine Arts (Art History), and a Master of Arts (Design).

Gallery 1

Techniques of exhibition-making, interior design and curatorial practice become apparent in Gallery 1

A working space; a space of experimentation, display, demonstration as well as exhibition.

The word ‘inflection’ brings ideas of bending and working with forces and actions which produce an interior as an inside of a folded line. This could be the architectural structure of the white cube; it could also be another line, other forces.

Ideas and forces from gallery 2 in conjunction with those of West Space and the event of the exhibition will be worked and inflected with, within, through, over, aside from the line of West Space’s architectural plan.

Currently, Suzie Attiwill is the program director of interior design, RMIT School of Architecture + Design. She is close to completing a PhD (by project) in Interior Design at RMIT University.

Gallery 3

Gallery 3 – a third space for outcomes produced from the conjunction of galleries 1 + 2.

An empty space – an expectant interiority.

Making space for interior designs and propositions yet to come.

Space for sketching-in and surfacing; for departures.

A member of Urban Interior (a transdisciplinary research group situated in the Customising Space /Design Research Institute and the School of Architecture + Design, RMIT University) Suzie Attiwill is involved in ongoing research projects which include temporal occupations of the urban environment and the design of interior environments for young people placed in out-of-home care.
