Across the main space of the gallery, visitors will move between the spinifex and foil exhibits, to a darkened tableau of ochres in an adjoining room.

Simultaneously, visitors will move between three design agendas concerning: the ethical exchange of scientific and cultural knowledge (the conservation of ochre); the legal place and protection of traditional intellectual knowledge (the commercialisation of spinifex); and the exercise of discretionary knowledge (the delineation of the architectural dressing).

The applied research selected for display is styled by skilled practitioners working in Australian conservation, manufacture and architecture.

It is selected for its design quality. It is selected for its capacity to contest incorrect or anachronistic notions of cultural materials. And it illustrates the new knowledge that has evolved in Australian design disciplines over the last decade concerning questions of authenticity, preservation, cultural capital and energy efficiency. This nationally-significant design exhibition is an exclusively Australian expos茅 of ochre, spinifex and foil.

Ochre, Spinifex & Foil听is presented by the University of Sydney Faculty of Architecture, Design and Planning in association with the Tin Sheds Gallery in support of the University鈥檚 2015 Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Integrated Strategy听Wingara Mura-Bunga Barrabugu,听Thinking path to make tomorrow.
