SUMMARY:Unfolding the Domestic – workshop with artist Sam Cranstoun
DESCRIPTION:In this workshop Lost In Palm Springs exhibition artist Sam Cranstoun will guide participants in how to create a series of paper sculptures inspired by the humble breeze block. \nBy exploring the rich design legacy of this easily recognisable building material\, participants will create a range of delicate but bold objects that elevate these everyday objects found in their neighbourhoods. \nUsing a combination of drawing\, sculpture and site specific installation\, participants will find awe and wonder in the domestic. Taking inspiration from pre-existing breeze block designs\, and using a range of processes that include drawing\, cutting and folding\, workshop participants will create intricate yet striking origami-like\, 3-dimensional objects. \nAll materials supplied. Places are limited\, bookings essential. \n\n \n  \n \n

Julian will discuss his global experience in conservation\, with highlights from the past 10 years of NERAM’s Adopt An Artwork Program\, and celebrate the generous contributions to this incredible project which supports the preservation of our beautiful collection. \nJulian is a key founding member of ICS and has served as a driving force behind the company since its inception in 1991. International Conservation Services was first conceived to provide materials conservation to the substantial collections held outside of public collecting institutions – ensuring material was restored and conserved to museum standards. Under his guidance it has become the premier company for the conservation of art and heritage in the country serving both private and state institutions as well as private clients. \nFrom his early days as a material conservator at the Powerhouse Museum\, Sydney\, Julian has always had a strong affiliation with conservation and has worked to establish a company that is conversant in the broader aspects of conservation and how it relates to allied disciplines. \nJulian’s key experience revolves around working on projects where there is a conservation component of a broader heritage issue. His expertise is deep and wide-ranging\, extending from a very broad knowledge of material conservation issues to collection management\, architectural conservation and heritage policy creation. \n\n\nThe Packsaddle Lecture Series invites guest speakers to expound on aspects of Australian and international artistic practices and history\, providing the community with an opportunity to explore themes and ideas related to some of the museum’s key collection areas. \n  \n \nSupported by Packsaddle \n
