When: 2nd March 2010, 6.00 – 8.00pm

Where: Object Gallery, 417 Bourke St, Surry Hills NSW 2010

State. Respond explores the role of sustainability in design and features provocative written statements, images and examples of real and speculative works from five NSW based designers, including Digital Eskimo, studio one8one7, Lava, Bird Textile and Schamburg + Alvisse.

The GreenUps crowd will also be treated to an inspirational talk from Brian Parkes, curator of the exhibition and Object’s Associate Director.
