Issue 62

Living in the Environment Issue

Issue 62 is the first issue of the year and always a great time to put our best foot forward. With Adam Goodrum, the loveliest man in design, as Guest Editor, we draw on his insights as a furniture designer, artist and educator to look at the makers shaping our design world. Sustainability has never been more important, and increasingly this is a consideration from the start with projects designed to address their immediate environment as well as the longevity of the planet. From the coldest winters to the most tropical of summers, addressing how we live in the environment is crucial to creating the perfect home.

Biennale of Sydney 2012 launch parties

This year’s Biennale kicked off with a series of parties across the city, bringing together artists, curators, sponsors and public figures.

On Wednesday 27 June the MCA opening saw more than 600 guests wander throughout the galleries throughout levels one and three to view the Biennale of Sydney exhibition, before congregating at the MCA main hall for drinks and speeches. A select group of artists and VIPs continued on to the Sydney Opera House bar for drinks after the event from 8.30pm onwards.

On Friday 29 June the Carriageworks opening was hosted in the main foyer of the Redfern-based arts institution, with more than 700 guests gathering around the two installation works by Belgian artist Ann Veronica Janssens. Co-Artistic Director Catherine de Zegher, Carriageworks Director Lisa Havilah and Biennale CEO Marah Braye addressed the crowd to officially open the venue for the 18h Biennale of Sydney. John and Peter provided the catering and delivered a 15-metre long table overflowing with cheeses, grapes and breads.
