Mdw 26 - link in bio Red bluff sandstone, eucalyptus infused water, endemic grasses all built from a long exploration into the red bluff formation - formed during the Pliocene epoch. It builds on @matt_muir36 research into seasonal harvesting of Boon Wurrung materials and @marni.reti experience in rammed earth and mud bricks. We are making a table and having a party. We think that everything should start with a yarn and a warm cuppa. This is our offering and we’d love you to come say gday. It’s just a start.

Melbourne Design Week is a vital platform for emerging and established creative practitioners, offering the Australian design community and audiences the opportunity to engage with a diverse program of talks, tours, exhibitions, installations, and workshops. Melbourne Design Week is Australia’s largest and leading annual design festival and takes place from 14–24 May 2026. Photo credits mix of Astrid Mulder, @plopon and bk

Melbourne design week 2026 But First, Country: An Evening of Connection One-night gathering centred on food, culture, and connection. The event brings together mob, allies, and supporters in an intimate, welcoming setting that encourages investment in First Nations design futures. Guests are invited to yarn, connect, and celebrate. The atmosphere is shaped through music, and a curated visual environment featuring imagery of Australian endemic flora. Styling and spatial design transform the installation into a vibrant, sensory experience. More than an installation, it is a moment of gathering, grounded in joy, storytelling, and collective presence, where people can eat, listen, laugh, and feel good together. Honestly just come yarn and have fun fuck yas Link in bio

Thank you to everyone who made it to @4langridgestreet on Saturday, a gathering around the humble grass.
 𝘗𝘢𝘳𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘨 is like a stage, a setting, and a springboard (thanks @kg__honey ), and Saturday felt exactly like that. The program extended the garden into conversation, dance, and photography. Inside and outside, dark and light, roots and movement.
 Thank you to Kade, Katherine, Marina, and Brad for speaking so generously about grass, what it means, what it holds, what we have lost. To Jonathan and Cobie for interpreting grass through movement. And to my friend and collaborator Casey Moore for coming on the ride and working so responsively and poetically with his lens on grass. More to come! @4langridgestreet Images by @studio_hemisphere_ @winsorkerr @kadepj @4langridgestreet @caseymoore @bolwarrah_gardens @melbourne_meadows @cobieo @jonathan_sinatra

The soundscape by Damn Moroda was created in response to Casey’s photographs, in particular 𝘛𝘩𝘦𝘮𝘦𝘥𝘢 𝘵𝘳𝘪𝘢𝘯𝘥𝘳𝘢, 2026. Themeda from the Arabic ‘thaemed’, means little water. @caseymoore @anita.c.king @damnmoroda

Me with a hand print of Themeda triandra in the show “Parking” curated by Anita King Along with projected images of endemic grasses. Corey McGregor @damnmoroda composed the beautiful soundscape “Little Water” to accompany the work. To take grasses, something as seemingly everyday and spend time with them, willing them to shine in front of the camera. That was the joy. I am left thinking that all parts of our natural world, no matter how humble or grand, have this ability to call to us. Really grateful to @anita.c.king for including my work in this project

𝘗𝘢𝘳𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘨, 2026 Plants, hessian coffee sacks, bronze granite, blonde granite, salvaged steel, paint, soil, and gravel. 4 Langridge Street, Collingwood By Anita King, in consultation with @winsorkerr and @sblastudio 𝘗𝘢𝘳𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘨 takes the form of a temporary grassland in the heart of Collingwood. The work transforms a single parking space into a site of potential, softening the hard city surface with a circular arrangement of hessian sacks and dancing grasses. A test site, and part of my ongoing research into the garden as sculpture, and sculpture as garden. 𝘗𝘢𝘳𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘨 returns native grassland species to Collingwood. As the granite arrived onsite, I watched the weight of accumulated histories hover almost weightlessly before crashing onto the asphalt and splitting the surface open. That crack is now my favourite part of the work. 𝘗𝘢𝘳𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘨 will be activated through a series of performances and conversations over the coming months, follow @4langridgestreet for updates. In the meantime, stop by. Sit on a rock. Watch the grass grow and share some water with the plants. Thanks to @studiocallummorton for saying “just do it,” @adamzaid for the drilling, @winsorkerr for the chats, @shannywins for the decisions, @sblastudio for plant guidance and expertise, @caseymoore for the photos, @barbiekjar for the watering, @trouthouse_ for the lifting, @4langridgestreet for the site, @finishing_school_designs for chats and labour, @allpressespresso for the coffee sacks, and Dad for figuring things out. . . . ɴᴀᴛɪᴠᴇ ɢʀᴀꜱꜱʟᴀɴᴅ ꜱᴘᴇᴄɪᴇꜱ Common Wallaby Grass (𝘙𝘺𝘵𝘪𝘥𝘰𝘴𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘮𝘢 𝘤𝘢𝘦𝘴𝘱𝘪𝘵𝘰𝘴𝘶𝘮), Bristly Wallaby Grass (𝘙𝘺𝘵𝘪𝘥𝘰𝘴𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘮𝘢 𝘴𝘦𝘵𝘢𝘤𝘦𝘶𝘮), Plume Grass (𝘋𝘪𝘤𝘩𝘦𝘭𝘢𝘤𝘩𝘯𝘦 𝘤𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘪𝘵𝘢), Velvet Tussock Grass (𝘗𝘰𝘢 𝘮𝘰𝘳𝘳𝘪𝘴𝘪𝘪), Chocolate Lily (𝘈𝘳𝘵𝘩𝘳𝘰𝘱𝘰𝘥𝘪𝘶𝘮 𝘴𝘵𝘳𝘪𝘤𝘵𝘶𝘮), Native Flax (𝘓𝘪𝘯𝘶𝘮 𝘮𝘢𝘳𝘨𝘪𝘯𝘢𝘭𝘦), Kangaroo Grass (𝘛𝘩𝘦𝘮𝘦𝘥𝘢 𝘵𝘳𝘪𝘢𝘯𝘥𝘳𝘢), Rough Spear-Grass (𝘈𝘶𝘴𝘵𝘳𝘰𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘱𝘢 𝘴𝘤𝘢𝘣𝘳𝘢).

OFFSITE: BSG PROJECTS X 4LS DEFINING FIGURES | CODED FUTURE | SHARED SPACE —— Settling back into BSG, we are reflecting on the incredible week we have had offsite at 4 Langridge Street, in our collaborative programming for Melbourne Art Fair with 4LS. On Friday we welcomed three influential speakers in Judith Ryan AO, Jon Altman AM, and Kade McDonald to speak to three immensely powerful barks from Dr Djambawa Marawili AO (Baniyala), Bardayal ‘Lofty’ Nadjamerrek AO (Gunbalunya), John Mawurndjul AM (Maningrida), in our panel discussion Defining Figures, presented by A Secondary Eye. We thank A Secondary Eye for bringing together these barks, and our deepest thanks to Judith, Jon and Kade–who worked so closely alongside these artists in community and in life for sharing their experiences with these incredible figures in art. —— We then were lucky to witness the extraordinary musical talent in Eleanor Jawurlngali, in CODED FUTURE, in an immersive and truly captivating performance and exhibition that left us all reeling. —— Our week culminated in Shared Space, our multi-art centre exhibition that brought together artists from across the country to share their art and stories with us, and we were delighted to welcome Prof Lisa Slade in discussion with esteemed Yolŋu artists Wayilkpa Maymuru and Gaypalani Wanambi, with Buku’s Kate Land–where we were brought into the lives of Yolŋu artists and art making, and the exciting new directions they are headed. —— If you missed the events and would like to see remaining artworks in the collection, or if there are any works that caught your eye over this weekend, please email us at [email protected]. —— Defining Figures was proudly presented in association with A Secondary Eye, and 4LS.
