JPE Artist in Residence: Shane Cook

Friday 30 August 2024
6:00 – 8:00pm, speeches at 6:30pm
JPE Design Studio, 4/19 Gilles St, Adelaide SA 5000

You’re invited to celebrate the launch of work by Shane Cook, an outcome of the JPE Artist in Residence program presented in collaboration with Guildhouse.

Shane Cook is a proud Wulli Wulli and Koa (Guwa) man with many family connections throughout Queensland, born on Kaurna Yerta (Kaurna Country/Adelaide). He has successfully followed in the footsteps, of many ancestors who were also artists and retraced family bloodlines that were lost for many years due to colonisation. His practice is inspired by both street and country environments, nature and urban landscapes, his people and his lived experience.

JPE Design Studio has been a place where 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.
