‘Quotient Set’ Carlton Library Light boxes
Quotient Set is a series of collaged art works installed in the Carlton Library Light Boxes in the City of Yarra from Friday 26 September 2025 – Thursday 26 March 2026. These images are constructed from the folding of 19th century maps of the immediate area surrounding the Library representing a contested time in our colonial past when Indigenous land was being parceled off and sold as property of the state.

Editors Daphne Mohajer va Pesaran and Laura Gardner warmly invite you to celebrate and launch their book Radical Fashion Exercises: A Workbook of Modes and Methods, published by Valiz, at Perimeter Books (734 High St, Thornbury) this Saturday (September 9) from 3-5pm.
To coincide with the launch, we (the book's editors Daphne and Laura) will be joined by contributors and fashion practitioners Andrea Eckersley, Annie Wu, Adele Varcoe and Kate Meakin for a discussion on the radical possibilities of experimental and critical fashion practice and education. A casual celebration with light refreshments will follow the panel discussion.
Further details can be found on the event listing on Perimeter's website.
Over one hundred tried, tested, and speculative exercises that expand the way we look at fashion, how we are part of its system, and how we can practice fashion otherwise.
Radical Fashion Exercises contains a copious collection of bottom-up activities, prompts, and workshops designed by contributors (from all around the globe), who explore fashion in an expanded field. Designers, curators, artists, educators, fashion practitioners, DIY home sewers, students, and other creatives responded to the book’s open call with contributions that challenge how to practice fashion and reflect on its systems, politics and economics. The exercises collected in this book embrace interdisciplinarity, experimentation, and aesthetics and widen fashion’s horizons as a medium for expression, embodiment and sociality.
Radical Fashion Exercises assembles methods for learning and practicing fashion in meaningful, radical and responsible ways. The book is an inspiring tool for design students, designers, writers, and practitioners of diverse disciplines to challenge fashion as a commodity and polluting structure in these times of uncertainty and upheaval.
304 pages, 22 x 15 cm, softcover, Valiz (Amsterdam).

New show Mantle/Mantel opens Wednesday October 30 from 6-8pm.
Recasting the relationship between the body and painting, Mantle/mantel explores how material elements such as garment, sculpture, wall and lighting are implicated in the realisation of an artwork. Geometric shapes in the painting are reiterated in the surfaces of the garment, cast shadows and shelf: coalescing as a total composition. The resulting assemblage of surfaces elaborate Eckersley’s ongoing interest in the human subject implied in encounters with art
