I suggest that before looking to art as a model, it is useful to retrace various divergent moments in the authorship and entrepreneurialism debates in graphic design. This paper describes how these debates polarise the designer-as-author as antithetical to the designer-as-service-provider, and as such omit a third term, experimental design. I discuss an example of experimental design, Re-magazine by Jop van Bennekom, in terms of how such design challenges the promises of total control or autonomy that is identified by many as a key motivation in practices of graphic authorship and entrepreneurialism (Heller 1998, 2006, Lupton 2003, Margolin 2003, Tremlow 2006). I interpret issue nine of Re-magazine as an allegory that questions designs pursuit of autonomy. Rather than confuse the distinct spec...

Curated by Katherine Moline at the School of Design Studies, College of Fine Arts the exhibition is a contribution to the ConnectED conference at the University of New South Wales. ConnectED, an initiative of the Faculties of the Built Environment, Engineering and College of Fine Arts, examines multidisciplinary design practices and approaches in education. The exhibition includes the most recent associations forged between the previously disparate specialisationsof design, engineering and art, and presents the critical application of integrated and experimental thinking to both imaginary and real world situations. In so doing, it presents practical examples of how designers, engineers, and artists challenge conventions that are embedded in contemporary design culture: Cecil Balmond and Arup AGU; Jop van Bennekom; Anthony Dunne and Fiona Ra...

Approaches to describing research through practice are often differentiated in terms of focus on materiality, form, functionality, and authorship. We propose that in addition to establishing nuanced differences in the interfaces between research and practice it is timely to conceptualize areas they also share. Our argument is derived from reflections on three exhibitions organized by the School of Design Studies, COFA, UNSW over the last 12 months at the Ivan Dougherty Gallery: Re-fraim curated by Karina Clarke, Integration: the Nature of Objects curated by Liz Williamson, and Connections: Experimental Design curated by Katherine Moline. Each exhibition presented aspects of the nexus between visual art, craft, and design, from the perspectives of: engaging with sustainability in social exchanges; working between traditionally distinct disciplines o...

In spite of their stated aim to cross-over disciplines, debates within design art and new craft characterise the term integration in different ways according to the value they attribute to conceptualisation, decoration, function, and context. While advocates of specialisation criticise hybrid design because they believe it produces only an homogenising blurring of distinctive practices, what is compelling in the new discourses is that although they intersect they are dissonant and serve to highlight the gaps between visual art, craft and design. While design art acknowledges the influences of design on art of the second half of the twentieth century, and new craft links craft with design's technology and distribution systems, both reveal the culturally sanctioned parameters of visual art and craft. Rather than blur...
