Abstract

“Jeweller, silversmith and independent curator Rohan Nicol invited craft practitioners and designer makers, architects and industrial designers to interpret, transform, and augment an existing piece of tableware. This collaborative exercise has its roots in Nicol’s concerns with processes of urban renewal. Successful urban renewal is generally a highly collaborative exercise. Its success is an outcome of the dynamic potential and richness brought to task by multiple perspectives. Domestic Renewal examines this notion in an exhibition of works produced for a collaborative table setting.”
