Gallery CentralCentral Institute of Technology's Gallery – 12 Aberdeen Street, Northbridge Perth Western Australia

Kip Smith "Rubix Cube" detail

This show is a sneak preview of some of the brave object design talent that is due to emerge in the next 2 years from 3D Design, formerly called Design For Industry at Central.  This selection of fabulous and original furniture consists of one-off signature pieces made to showroom standard in steel, plastic and timber by 12 outstanding students studying at diploma and advanced diploma level. 

There are works for sale. 

These pieces were all selected for the recent FURNITEX (International Furniture Industry tradeshow) in Melbourne in the VIVID competition, which invites submissions from up and coming contemporary designers. More about that at http://www.furnitex.com.au/events/vivid 

On show 8 – 11 Sept

Central Institute of Technology’s graduating students are holding an auction of their artworks.  In addition to inspiring pieces by the students, many well-known Perth artists have donated works specifically created for the auction; Brian McKay and Jo Darbyshire to name just two.  The auction is being held to raise funds for the students’ end of year graduation show.  Pieces are uniformly presented in (- or around -) a 227 x 310mm frame, ready to hang/display, and will be sold to the individual highest bidder – no fuss, no haggling, no gallery fees.  You will be offered everything from painting to sculpture, ceramics, jewellery, digital art, illustration – and anything in between.
