'RETURN TO THE CITY' | Christmas at the Johnston Collection 2016 includes artists collectives Hotham Street Ladies, The GLAD Rappers and The Melbourne Tapestry Weavers Collective and individual artists Anne Bolitho, Lewis Brownlie, ChiliPhilly, Amanda Dziedzic, Sai-Wai Foo, Irianna Kanellopoulou, Abbey Rich, Robyn Rich, Sharron Okines, Louise Saxton and Ellen Sorensen.
'RETURN TO THE CITY' includes:
"¢ a royal icing installation by the Hotham Street Ladies who have transformed the Green Room into 'a night after' scene from an imaginary party hosted by William Johnston in the 1960s.
"¢ an installation by textile artist ChiliPhilly featuring crochet hats and a portrait of William Johnston and his friend Ahmed, in the Blue Room.
"¢ works by artist Louise Saxton, who creates stunning pieces from reclaimed needlework, along with the whimsical sculptural paper works of artist Sai-Wai Foo, featuring in the Bedroom
"¢ architectural illustrator Lewis Brownlee, has made his mark in The Study with his distinctive intricate line-work, this time in wire
"¢ Painter Robyn Rich, textile designer Abbey Rich, printmaker Sharron Okines, and ceramicist Irianna Kanellopoulou have installed their pieces inspired by objects in the Collection in the White Room
"¢ The GLAD Rappers have turned up and yarn bombed the Yellow Room
"¢ artist Amanda Dziedzic is showing her exquisite glass vegetables in the Kitchen
The commissioned work is displayed against the back-drop of William Johnston's extraordinary collection.
The Johnston Collection is an exhibition-house of fine and decorative arts centred in an historic Melbourne townhouse. William Robert Johnston (1911-1986) was a 20th century collector and antique dealer who amassed an extraordinary collection of Georgian, Regency, and Louis XV furniture, paintings, ceramics and objet d'art over his lifetime. His collection was bequeathed to the people of Victoria after his death, and is displayed in a constantly changing domestic setting in his former residence, Fairhall.
Guided tours weekdays at 10.00 am, 12 noon, 2.00 pm. After Hours tours on the second Saturday of each month at 10.00 am and 12 noon and on the third Thursday evening of each month at 6.00 pm. Bookings www.johnstoncollection.org
