A multifunctional workshop space - a carrier of an array of conversational objects, ephemeral accessories, makeshift accoutrements, and performative jewellings – offers an ornamental aside to other Radiant Pavillion events where members of the public gather for actions, discussions, and performances concerned with all things jewellery.

(ABOUT THE ARTISTS)
​
Roseanne Bartley is an artist, writer and educator whose practice intersects adornment, making, social process, and performance. Roseanne’s work amplifies the supplemental effects of ornamentation through a materially discursive method practice of facilimaking. Tactically ornamental events of facilimaking are aided and abetted by accoutrements, accessories and co-elaborators; human and more than human co-contributors whose making and unmaking elaborate facilimaking tasks. Professionally Roseanne has been awarded several Australian Council and Arts Victoria creative practice grants. Her work has been selected for national and international exhibitions, including After Wearing: A History of Gestures, Actions and Jewelry – Pratt Institute, New York (2015), Unexpected Pleasures – National Gallery of Victoria and the Design Museum, UK (2012-13); and Melbourne Now – NGV (2013–14). Roseanne recently completed a Ph.D. in the School of Architecture and Design at RMIT. She lecturers at Monash University and is a creative consultant on Handshake 5 (NZ.) 2019.

Lynda Robert’s practice operates at the intersection between art, design and organisational systems. Having worked across a range of contexts from local government to corporate and community sectors, she often approaches projects in-situ, developing frameworks and spatial conditions that support creative thinking through action as an expanded form of architecture. From 2014-17
Lynda was Senior Public Art Program Manager at the City of Melbourne. In this role she developed the Public Art Framework 2014-17 and delivered a suite of new temporary projects including Test Sites and the Biennial Lab. Lynda recently led the team at RMIT Creative, Student Life and taught into the School of Architecture and Design at RMIT, receiving an RMIT Outstanding Sessional Teaching Award: Higher Education in 2013. Drawing on her formative studies in architecture at Sydney University and Masters of Architecture (Research) at RMIT, Lynda is an advocate for collaborative processes and the critical role artists play within in the built environment. She is an enthusiastic participant in public forums, advisory panels and has co-facilitated a range of interdisciplinary art laboratories, including Belconnen Commons, ACT (2015), Situate Art in Festivals, Tas (2013), Splendid Lab (2010/11) and Underbelly Arts, NSW (2011). Lynda Roberts is currently a PhD by Publication candidate at Deakin University.

Ceri Hann is a multidisciplinary arts practitioner who develops participatory art forms intended to enhance the conditions for collective idea generation. This approach to practice often avoids categorisation, as the outcomes are intentionally defused in the wonder/wander of everyday life. The gifting of metaphorical objects to instigate philosophical discourse stems from Ceri’s recently completed PhD research at RMIT, The Making of a Knowledge Casino (2016). The creation of low tech props for treating the urban condition as a 3D movie set were used to enable mutually inspired activities for people that may not consider themselves artists, but may become script writers of their own way to play.

Ceri has presented work at Melbourne Comedy Festival (2017), Liquid Architecture (2015), RMIT Project Space (2014) and run workshops at West Space, Blindside Sound Series and Testing Grounds.
