Calling for Expressions of Interest (EOIs) for the 2021 annual Exhibition Program.
RMIT Design Hub Gallery exists to ask questions about design’s role in the world today. Through exhibitions, conversations, performances and publications, we explore the process of design—making space to imagine, test and risk new ideas together. Founded within RMIT University, the Design Hub Gallery has its roots in the city and in design research. But most of all, we’re a public place, a zone for exploration and a platform for exchange, locally and internationally. We’re an open space for discovery, questioning and experimentation.
Design Hub Gallery encourages the public presentation of creative research at all phases of development. EOIs are accepted from designers, researchers, curators and others engaged in research in design.
To apply, please review the application guidelines and complete the online Expression of Interest form here, which involves:
-An outline of your exhibition concept (up to 200 words)
-A description of the exhibition design and/or how the project will be displayed (up to 150 words)
-A (maximum) half page CV or bio for each participant in the exhibition
-Support material
-Preferred dates
-A brief budget
Applications are due by Monday, December 2, 2019, 5pm AEST
Applications that best demonstrate the following criteria will be considered for the Design Hub Gallery annual program:
–How the concept works as an exhibition
–Why Design Hub Gallery is an important context for the exhibition, and why an exhibition is an important context for the research
–Demonstrated relevance and capacity for the project to stimulate critical debate and engage audiences
–Viability (time and financial) and evidence of good planning
–Diversity of participants involved in the exhibition (disciplines, cultural background, gender, etc.)
All exhibition proposals accepted into the program undergo a process of development with the Design Hub Gallery curatorial team. Design Hub Gallery offers significant support across all phases of exhibition planning and execution, including curatorial development, creative production, technical and installation support and marketing assistance. All Design Hub Gallery exhibitions are accompanied by a publication and public programs.
Please discuss your project with the Design Hub Gallery Curators Kate Rhodes, Fleur Watson and Creative Producer Nella Themelios before submitting an application. We also highly recommend that you visit the Gallery before submitting a proposal and/or review past exhibitions via the archive on our website.
For more information about the EOI process please refer to the guidelines. Please submit applications via the online form.
