Once again Dale Hardiman and Mark Dineen are pushing the boundaries on product design and thinking big – in fact world-wide large!
January 28th, 2022
As part of Melbourne Design Week (MDW) Dale Hardiman, product designer, curator and entrepreneur, and American artist and designer Mark Dineen, have joined forces and are this year curating Shareholder Fantasy, an exhibition of vases.
Thinking globally, Hardiman and Dineen are asking for contributors from anywhere and everywhere to populate this very interesting initiative.
The idea is to design a vase, upload an image of the object here with the hashtag #sharefolderfantasy. Submissions will be presented digitally on the website, while some will be displayed in an exhibition for the 2022 MDW.
If ever there was a way to connect global product designers and makers, then this is it.
It’s fair to say that there will be a diverse and wondrous array of vases submitted and the subsequent exhibition online will be very different to the usual.
Of course, there will also be the opportunity for a curated selection of the physical objects to be displayed from 17 – 27 March 2022 at the RMIT Design Hub in Melbourne, Australia.
For the record, the definition of a vase for Sharefolder Fantasy is, “any object that can hold or present another material, this includes car exhausts, letter boxes, an open book, or even a glass of water”!
The final date for submissions is 1 March 2022 and this is an opportunity for every creative to find their voice and design a vase – with the end result that their work will be showcased on the world stage.
So, what’s in a vase? Well, hold your breath and we’ll all see at MDW in Melbourne this March!
