'This Matter(s)' presented by Gallery Boot: Panel Discussion

Gallery Boot presents 'This Matter(s)' hosted and curated by the Christopher Boots studio.

The exhibition presents curated works by makers and designers working with a range of materials. It traverses a variety of practices, material applications, and thematic concerns, including the reformulation of found and scrap materials into one-of-a-kind artworks, the transformation of waste or reclaimed materials into poetic pieces of furniture, and innovative explorations with biomaterials that challenge notions of how materials can be sourced, fabricated, and utilised. All works respond to the theme of Melbourne Design Week whilst showcasing the essence of enduring design.

The moderated panel will bring together a selection of exhibiting makers and designers to discuss the theme “Designing the World You Want.” Panellists will explore how their work responds to cultural and material shifts, reflecting broader conversations in design.
