'The Point', 'We Do What We Must', 'WFF? and 'Spineless'

Research Background: 'Peter Corrigan: cities of hope' exhibition at RMIT Gallery honoured the work of the internationally renowned Melbourne architecture practice Edmond & Corrigan, Corrigan's set and costume design for threatre, his personal library and art collection and objects from his office. Graham Crist was one of 22 architectural designers who were invited to respond to Corrigan's work. Four digital prints - 'WTF?', 'the Point' 'We Do What We Must' and 'Spineless' - are the result; each included in 'The Cities of Hope' exhibition. This exhibition followed the publication of a new monograph of Edmond & Corrigan's work by Thames and Hudson. Research Signifigance: RMIT Gallery is a highly-regarded Melbourne gallery. It has a longstanding commitment to innovative exhibitions that represent divergent artistic practices. 'Cities of hope' is the first major public exhibiton of Edmond & Corrigan, and the first major exhibition on a single architect's contribution to Melbourne architectural culture in over ten years. The value of this project is further evidenced by the 10,105 people who attended [exhibition report], the review in 'The Age' (Ray Edgar, Dreaming up a city of hope', April 2013) and the review in the leading Australian professional journal 'Architecture Australia' (Ricky Ricardo, Peter Corrigan: cities of hope', May 2013). The works from invited designers, place their own work in the context of Corrigan's and into a larger important cultural conversation on Melbourne.These works also contribute to the exhibition narrrative regarding Corrrigan's sphere of influence. Research Contribution: The four works each combine, through direct elision, the creative built architectural works of Crist's practice Antarctica, with images of politcal and social significance. They re-frame published and awarded architectural works in a unque narrative of Melbourne's mental space.

研究背景：皇家墨尔本理工大学美术馆（RMIT Gallery）举办的「彼得·科里根：希望之城」特展，旨在纪念国际知名墨尔本建筑事务所Edmond & Corrigan的作品、科里根为戏剧创作的舞台与服装设计，以及其私人藏书、艺术藏品与办公室留存的物品。格雷厄姆·克里斯特（Graham Crist）是受邀对科里根的创作作出回应的22位建筑设计师之一，最终产出了四幅数字版画——《WTF？》《The Point》《We Do What We Must》与《Spineless》，这四件作品均纳入「希望之城」特展。此次特展的举办，恰逢泰晤士与哈德逊出版社（Thames and Hudson）出版了全新的埃德蒙与科里根作品集专著。

研究意义：皇家墨尔本理工大学美术馆是墨尔本广受赞誉的艺术场馆，长期致力于打造展现多元艺术创作实践的创新性展览。「希望之城」特展是埃德蒙与科里根首次举办的大型公众展览，同时也是十余年来首个聚焦单一建筑师对墨尔本建筑文化贡献的大型展览。本次项目的价值进一步得到多方佐证：据展览报告显示，本次展览共吸引10105名观众到场参观；《时代报》（The Age）刊发了雷·埃德加的评论文章《构筑一座希望之城》（2013年4月）；澳大利亚顶尖专业期刊《建筑澳大利亚》（Architecture Australia）也刊登了里基·里卡多的评论文章《彼得·科里根：希望之城》（2013年5月）。受邀设计师的作品将自身创作置于科里根的创作脉络之中，并纳入关于墨尔本的更广泛且重要的文化对话范畴。这些作品同时也丰富了本次展览关于科里根影响力圈层的叙事逻辑。

研究贡献：四幅数字版画均通过直接省略的创作手法，将克里斯特所在事务所Antarctica的原创建成建筑作品，与兼具政治与社会意义的图像相结合。它们以独特的叙事视角重构了已出版并获奖的建筑作品，诠释墨尔本的精神空间。
