On display at the ground floor of NGV-Australia, the work of designers Jonathan Ben-Tovim, Liam Fleming, Andrew Carvolth, Michael Gittings, and Kristin Burgham collectively explore the intersection of materiality, industrial toughness and design ingenuity.

The works of Jonathan Ben-Tovim and Andrew Carvolth transform often-discarded materials into new, useful artefacts while Michael Gittings, Kristin Burgham and Liam Fleming demonstrate their mastery in intensive craft traditions under extreme heat. Together, their work challenges perceptions of value and creativity.
