3 ROOMS: Object Design and the Body

‘3 ROOMS: Object Design and the Body’ is an exhibition that showcases the creative outcomes from a collaborative project involving curators, lecturers and students from Australia and Singapore. The project asked students from Curtin University, Perth, and LASALLE College of the Arts, Singapore, to consider fashion as a form of object design with reference to the body, rather than redesigning existing clothing made exclusively to be worn as garment. The project engaged contributors in inter-disciplinary research and practice to encourage new ways of designing and making fashion.

Using the body as a site a space for reflection, researching new materials and techniques for construction, engaging in new methods of investigation, and exploring cross-disciplinary approaches helped to move fashion away from its existing ties with garment, production and business to evolve new notions of what fashion is, and can be.
