Tim Larkin, Depression Safe 2007
A biennial award offered to decorative and applied art practitioners. An artwork to the value of at least $3,000 will be acquired for TheNewDowse collection.
The recipient receives:
• A $10,000 grant towards the creation of their work
• An opportunity to exhibit at TheNewDowse
Tim Larkin won the 2008 Deane Award with an exhibition proposal based on the long-redundant, yet highly efficient food safe.
Larkin, along with writer Luke Feast and photographer Pete McColl, will create a body of work that explores ideas generated by thinking about the food safe, and its unique architectural position between the indoors and outdoors.
