Installation by CO-AP

Based in Sydney, CO-AP endeavour to realise unique outcomes for each project, achieved through a strong and reliable collaborative process that is initiated at an early stage, with emphasis on research and development, program, context and sustainability. For this exhibition the team invites the visitor to experience their three-dimensional domain assembled using a mass-produced product. The installation is echoed in their paper cup construction activity that encourages exhibition visitors to explore assemblages using small modular units.
