Open House Melbourne is seeking proposals for tours, events, talks, workshops and creative programs for the the return of the Open House Weekend in July.
This year’s theme is Built / Unbuilt. The organizers say the theme “celebrates the contribution and impact of good design in our built environment yet also explores the city and suburbs at diverse scales and systems – the urban, civic, public, landscape, interior; as well as those spaces that are ‘unbuilt’ and in-between – the unseen, divergent, porous, interstitial, and inter-connected.”
Open House Melbourne is planning for the program to be in person in 2022, but is encouraging proposals for physical and/or digital events.
A highlight of the weekend will be the exhibition “Take Hold of the Clouds,” curated by Tara McDowell (Monash University) and Fleur Watson (Open House Melbourne).
The project invites creative practitioners across visual art, architecture, design, landscape, and film to make an installation or creative work in response to eight sites across the city. “Rather than simply placing art in buildings, the exhibition stages a series of thoughtful encounters between site-specific and temporal creative works and architecture, in which each practitioner responds to both form and context, adding a new layer to how we understand these buildings and spaces,” the curators note.
For further information, and to submit an expression of interest, head here. Submissions close 28 February.
