Urban Interior - a creative research group based at RMIT University - is taking over the gallery spaces and surroundings of Craft Victoria, turning it into a research laboratory to explore the spatial and temporal dimensions of the inhabited, urban environment.

Questioning/ignoring the conventional 10am to 5pm opening hours and white cube display of artefacts, Urban Interior takes over Craft Victoria through performances, actions, changes, sound, smell, thoughts, image, discussions, presentations, night and day; redistributing and enfolding outside and insides, individuals and collectives.

Craft Victoria will be arranged by acts of crafting as distinct from craft artefacts, by process rather than outcomes. UI – you and I – will encounter, experience and experiment with relational conditions in the urban environment of Melbourne.

UI is composed of individuals from a range of disciplines including fashion, sound, interior design, architecture, industrial design and art. As a collective, individual research trajectories cover a breadth of practices, scales and concerns from the intimacy of bodies to events within the public realm.

Urban Interior Research Group includes:
Suzie Attiwill, Mick Douglas, Michael Fowler, Robyn Healy, Rochus Urban Hinkel (with Ian de Gruchy and Ramesh Ayyar), Roger Kemp, Mick Peel, and Malte Wagenfeld.
