Periphery is a diverse exhibition, exuberantly presenting various strategies on how to cope with life: accepting errors, being joyful, questioning conventions and defying categorisation. The artists and designers involved share a desire for a societal shift in perspective and reprioritisation of values, away from rigid rules and definitions and rather, to embrace open thinking, individual uniqueness and infinite possibilities.

'Space' is a concept relevant to the group in various ways. To play off that idea we will be positioning our works in non-standard locations. Some are in hallways were you can see them easily and in passing. Others are in rooms that are able to be hired out and therefore are tucked away. Access and audience is varied. Depending on whether the rooms are booked or not changes what you might see. If the doors are open then the walls break down, more space becomes available and restrictions are relaxed. However if the room is in use you will not be able to enter. Like life, all things are not available for all people at all times. Each of the artists and designers in the show have thought about this in some way in the development of their work and it holds as a collective ingredient toward the outcome, five individual perspectives on life.
