Exhibition continues: 15 - 25 February 2017
Location: ANU School of Art & Design Gallery
Supported by funding from the Vice-Chancellor, this innovative five year scheme is the first of its kind in an Australian University, and demonstrates the high regard in which visual arts and practice-led research is held at the ANU.
The Scheme aims to promote collaborative research between disciplines in the University and provide opportunities for developing future trans-disciplinary ARC funded projects in which practice-led research and creative design logic would be embedded.

The ANU School of Art & Design staff and students exhibit works and projects that explore the diverse meanings and possibilities suggested by the three words of the exhibition title: making, design, research.
ANU Design presents Making Design Research; an exhibition which aims to explore and illuminate the complex relationships between making, design, and research. The works combine emergent practice-based enquiry with systematic investigation; in which making is both research and production, a process that can generate and embody knowledge, and a site for cross-disciplinary engagement and collaboration.
The exhibition is a platform for the public to encounter exceptional works produced by SOA&D staff and students, to learn more about the process behind the products and how new knowledge has been generated through their production.
