Articulate project space: Domesticated Domesticated is a playful and decorative furnishing of Articulate project space, including furniture and references to popular culture and the everyday. It aims to break with more traditional gallery viewing modes by creating a relaxed experience in the warehouse-like space of the Articulate project space building and blurring the line between the domestic realm, furniture showroom and museum.
This project is supported by funding from Leichhardt Council.

Mim Fluhrer 3 Wall hangings: Urubamba-Sacred Valley, Mesopotamia and Rajastan, Acrylic compound and acrylic on hessian. $500 12 Wall Dots. Acrylic compound and acrylic on hessian. $80 each! Symbols, rituals, markings, stories, the communication we have shared through colour and form. Inspiration is found from my everyday walk of life, your everyday walk of life. At home in my lounge room, as well on the trail of Machu Picchu in Peru. The shape of a mountain set into the expanse of the blue sky or the natural pigment markings on a mudbrick wall. My wanderlust to travel and to see, is my same exploration of form and colour.

Anne Graham! Blue Holes. 2014. Recycled wood, glass, and billiard balls. 1800 x 900 x 80 (cm). N.F.S. This work resembles an Ikea bookcase, a useful, ubiquitous object transformed into something a bit more surreal, but still decidedly domestic. The bookcase is booby trapped with many various sized holes, like a piece of Gouda cheese or maybe some kind of complex game. The marbles, billiard balls, Boule balls, and Chinese cupping glasses all refer to games and actions related to the body. But the objects can be moved and changed there are endless variations possible… I tried it as a vegetable holder and it worked.!

Velvet Wrap. Perspex, flock wallpaper, acrylic paint, and wood. 33 (diameter) x 25 (height) cm. $3300. The installation Velvet Wrap explores the elemental relationships of geometry, colour and form within the modern and imagined domestic sphere. Nuha Saad creates works in between assemblage, painting and sculpture that are playful investigations into colour and form. Her signature material has over recent years become the Victorian reproduction finials, architraves and cornices added to domestic interiors for decorative effect. She singles out these elements and through cutting, arrangement and colour, the dormant beauty and sensuality and buried narratives of a turned timber finial or a moulded cornice come to life. Nuha Saad was recently awarded a public art commission for a new park at Green Square. Nuha will work with Sturt Noble Associates to create a series of artworks to be installed throughout Wuluba Park. http://www.nuhasaad.com

Bettina Hill Kitchen Bench, 2012. Kitchen bench, paint, glue and laminex. $880 Washing Machine,2012. Washing machine. $880 Bettina Hill sees the extraordinary in everyday experiences, everyday objects and everyday materials. Through printmaking, photographic and sculptural works, her visual arts practice locates and documents aesthetic qualities of utilitarian objects and everyday natural phenomena. There is potential for beauty and the fantastic in such objects as a cardboard box, paper, drinking glasses and kitchen utensils, and in such actions as a splash of water, reflected light and growing grass. With delicate manipulation and experimentation of this ordinaria, Bettina Hill illustrates the relationship between simplicity and complexity, hand-made and machine-made, and, domestic and scientific elements.

Will Cooke Floating Points, 2014. Acrylic on wall. Floating Points is a site-specific wall painting that aims to emphasize not only the space in which it occupies, but also the physical relationship between myself and the space. This work in particular focuses on the studio practice I started to develop as I entered the Articulate space in late 2011. The practice involved very basic geometric forms, much like those found on the bathroom floor of my childhood home. The result is two opposing diamond shaped geometric forms gently meeting in the middle.
