Aluminium

Craft Victoria
Saturday 11 MaySaturday 22 June

Aluminium is a single material exploration. Six artists, makers and designers respond to the allure, practicality, and ethics of aluminium and together showcase the versatile applications of this metal within contemporary material practice.

Aluminium is celebrated as a lightweight, malleable and abundant contemporary metal and is increasingly used as much for its aesthetics as for its properties. Thought of as affordable and easy to manipulate, we associate it with technological advances such as those in aviation, food packaging and machinery. However, it is a material of contradiction; obtaining virgin aluminium is resource-heavy, with significant tolls on the environment through bauxite extraction and processing. Conversely, when recycled, it is considered one of the most sustainable industrial materials with comparatively minimal carbon emissions.
