Art comes face to face with architecture in Jubelin’s latest major project. ‘Vision in Motion’ animates an Australian history of modernism, presenting a survey of Jubelin’s intricately sewn petit points of the past three decades alongside newly commissioned works inspired by architecture and the built environment.
A grand panorama from Jubelin’s early renditions of colonial monuments is presented in dialogue with representations of the modern city made from a collage of video, models and needlework. The exhibition offers humorous reflections and a critical engagement with modernism.
