It’s that time of year – many graduate exhibitions to visit.
The NMIT graduate (Advanced Diploma of Engineering Technology (Jewellery), 2yrs) exhibition is ‘Auteur‘ at the Northcote Town Hall.

I wrote in my review post on the last NMIT exhibition of the different focuses of NMIT and RMIT. I don’t want to repeat myself, but it’s hard not to notice – especially when I visit the exhibitions on the same day. The most obvious observation is that the NMIT exhibition has so much more highly polished metal (not a finish I like unfortunately).

I’ve seen so much art today, I have art fatigue!!
‘Auteur‘ is at Northcote Town Hall until 27th November 2011.

…still thinking about Stephanie Putker’s mild steel works, and Penny Scallan’s Imago Heel shoes, AND wondering why so few of these makers have any social media presence…?
