Artbank has invited Melbourne artist Narelle Desmond to exhibit recent and historical works alongside works from the Artbank Collection.

Desmond is a multidisciplinary artist whose spatial practice uses design and design objects as a vehicle to broadly ask how design and its production impacts our lives. Her works reference and intersect with critical theory, popular culture, design and art history. Revisiting everyday objects and commercially fabricated things, Desmond sees object making as a way of understanding the world.

Artbank has further framed Desmond’s works as a solo practitioner with works from the collection, and activates the gallery to speak to interior spaces and staging.
