Salone del Mobile

First used by Marcel Duchamp in 1931 the term ‘mobile’ describes the instruments of the American sculptor, Alexander Calder. A French noun; for ‘furnitures,’ or an adjective; ‘darting, nimble or moving,’ when interpreted as a pun it may represent one’s motive or what prompted a crime. 

Recalling the shadows and hanging miniatures of a collective memory, the mobile could be considered a naive device without obvious function. Neither determined nor determining, its spatial operation is dependent on the very external forces that invite accident and uncertainty. 

Gathering an array of spatial practitioners operating outside of the traditional design services to construct a hanging apparatus, Salone del Mobile [SYD] challenges preconceptions about the architect’s role, re-imagining how cultural or creative production is established without a building. Representing spatial agendas unique to each creator, its hanging armatures support live and 1:1 acts of disciplinarity. Together, these mobiles form an assemblage of parts and people, a divergent network of ideas emerging from alternative practice in Sydney.

Unveiled Conversations

Tucked away behind veils of undulating screens, a small-scaled room becomes a gallery within a gallery. Unveiled Conversations is a transformational promise, inviting you to uncover layers of truth, myth, place, identity—a world beneath the skin. 

A spatial celebration for the theme of Veneer, CIRCA Journal’s second issue, this exhibition invites you to explore a veneer’s material poetics—how you move, where you sit and what you touch are as much on exhibit as the body of work by the authors. Drawing together threads of parallel but overlapping stories, these Unveiled Conversations will, in time, stratify into a discourse entirely unknown, shaped solely by consequence.
