Clement Meadmore
The Industrial Design of Clement Meadmore — The Harris/Atkins Collection
TarraWarrra Museum of Art
Saturday 23 March – Sunday 14 July
Widely regarded as one of Australia’s most important sculptors of the twentieth century, Clement Meadmore is also acknowledged as a significant and pioneering figure within the history of Australian modernist design.
Featuring an extensive group of individual pieces from the 1950s and early 1960s, this exhibition highlights Meadmore’s highly distinctive approach to industrial design and his remarkable ability to manipulate the most basic, readily available materials—steel rod, cotton cord, glass, sheet metal, canvas and thin plywood—into functional, innovative and durable objects.
At a time when artists, architects and designers were determined to forge a new identity in post-war Australia, Meadmore’s elegant and inventive designs were highly influential, becoming an integral part of the contemporary homes designed by leading architects such as Robin Boyd, Neil Clerehan and Peter McIntyre.
