4pm – 5.45pm Tuesday 12 October 2021
Biophilic Bamboo Base (B³) is an architectural performance piece based around the innate relationships between humans and their environment. Paying tribute to an envisioned harmonious relationship between craft, construction and nature, B³ creates a place to experience Bamboo as a natural building material and provides an understanding of its sociocultural importance in the Indian Ocean Rim.
Inspired by an artist-in-residence project, Dr Chamila Subasinghe (Creative Director) will lead architectural students as they design and build their own Bamboo seats for two. B³ will take you on a journey to different sites through John Curtin Gallery’s IOTA21 exhibition – to finally take rest on a site where it can return to its natural elements gracefully.
Free event. Please register as spaces are limited. Refreshments will be served.
John Curtin Gallery, Curtin University, Building 200A, Bentley Campus, Kent Street, Bentley WA 6102
