CARBON NEUTRAL SINCE 2OO7
Starting November, the atelier will become a temporary home for artworks on a 6-weekly basis, each for one night only. Presented by dynamic curatorial duo Alison Kubler and Nadine Cameron each one night only will feature the works of emerging and established, local and interstate, artists, designers, jewellers and musicians.
Another semester of Stephen's QUT design studio teaching has drawn to a close, with students presenting their schemes for a technical college at Helensvale for final critiques. A complex brief and difficult site kept the students engaged until the end, with some truly excellent work being presented.
Stephen will be drawing on his obsession with all things Japanese as he presents two talks at the QUT Art Museum on December 6th and 13th. "Making it small" will delve into the enigmatic density of small Japanese architecture, while "Everything you see is real" will be a fast-paces anime trip.
Ark's delicately detailed extension to a house and gallery in Canberra is proceeding under the careful supervision of builder Ulli Tuisk. The main recycled hardwood frame elements are in place, along with the floating concrete slab and sitting wall, creating voluminous and richly patinated spaces which the owners have already started enjoying, even without a roof.
Construction is nearing completion in Fortitude Valley, with the most prominent external element, a pleated perforated stainless steel screen now in place. With work only a few weeks away from being finished, the opening of ark's first completed project is expected late November!
Greg Foll joined Stephen and Tobias at ark on the 24th August, after Sophie departed to purse parallel interests in set design. Greg's enthusiasm and extensive practical experience, as well as his odd sense of humour have seen him quickly become a key contributor to several projects, as well as the atelier's ambience!
Ark's first product design prototype arklight_1 is now illumination our atelier. This is the first in a planned series of lighting and furniture designs we're currently working on, including a stool, desk lamp and a low table.
