Form before function

Craig Glasson

Friday 24 February  
6 – 8pm 
JPE Design Studio 
Level 4, 19 Gilles St, Adelaide 5000

Join us at JPE Design Studio to celebrate Craig Glasson’s exhibition launch Form before function, as the Fringe JPE Art in Residence recipient.  

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 and design practice, 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.

Exhibition dates: 24 February - 17 March 2023

This residency opportunity sees two artists a year in a creative exchange within the JPE studios, culminating in a work or installation presented during SALA and Fringe.  

JPE Design Studio has been a place where emerging artists can exhibit, engage with studio culture and have an impact on design thinking since 2013. The JPE Art in Residence program marks a new chapter of creative exchange in collaboration with Guildhouse.
