The latest exhibition at the Design Institute of Australia's Design Gallery in Melbourne has just opened, detailing the history of Artichoke magazine - the influential Australian design magazine.
Artichoke commenced as an experimental publication twelve years ago and has since grown into one of the leading design magazines in Australia. It contains interesting articles and opinions on a diverse range of design subjects including interior architecture and design, product, textile and graphic design.
This latest DIA exhibition tracks Artichoke's progress from humble beginnings to its current position as an engaging quarterly magazine, widely regarded as Australia's most respected design title.
"For twelve years the pages of Artichoke have recorded the achievements of Australian design professionals. Endorsed as the official magazine of the Design Institute of Australia, it is a collaborative partnership with the design community," said Cameron Bruhn, Editorial Director of Architecture Media, speaking at the exhibition opening. "Artichoke is a forum for design ideas and takes design thinking to a broad public audience. Each issue has its own particular character, but as a suite they have one voice - a dialogue about design excellence and innovation."
The Artichoke Exhibition runs until March 23, and the installation features a three-dimensional cardboard sculpture by Toby Horrocks and graphic design by Qube Konstrukt.
