Writing with Rilke

Performative intervention

IDEA Journal panel at Melbourne Art Book Fair

Melbourne Design Week 2022

I was invited to participate in a workshop and panel discussion for IDEA Journal where selected articles from the (Extra) Ordinary Interiors issue were further unpacked through performative reflections. For my contribution, my former studio-mate and new editor of IDEA Journal Chris Cottrell and I reperformed an intervention where I wrote a segment of text from Rainer Maria Rilke on the studio windows. Cottrell and I wrote together, he in our old studio in Melbourne, and I at my home in Tāmaki Makaurau (Auckland). As we wrote we discussed ideas of blurring creative practice and everyday life, porous thresholds between interiors/exteriors, local creative broadcasts, and ways of engaging publics outside of the traditional creative infrastructures of galleries and festivals.
