Exhibitions

A snapshot of current exhibitions from around the country and internationally that showcases innovation and diversity of practice.

Love Lace   Make Lace Not War
30 July 2011 - 30 April 2012     Sydney
Powerhouse Museum
Playful and inventive, the works on display present a provocative challenge to traditional concepts of lace. The artists push lace techniques in surprising new directions - knitting human hair into sculptures of human organs, crocheting steel wire into a ghostly motor engine, carving lace patterns from the body of a rusty old truck. See lace in fashion, jewellery, sculpture, lighting and digital multimedia installations.

Australian International Design Awards  
30 July 2011 - 30 June 2012     Sydney
Powerhouse Museum
A joeycan for recycling shower water, a light-weight, compact FlipBike, cutting-edge pressurised technology to treat obstructive sleep apnoea and a new tethered tool assistant allowing workers to safely use tools at heights are amongst this year's top designs selected by the Powerhouse Museum to go on show in the 2011 Australian International Design Awards exhibition.
