Art, Design, Medi‪a‬ RMIT University

: Dr. Evelyn Tsitas, engagement manager at RMIT, talks to the Bluestone Collection Chair Bin Dixon-Ward and Treasurer Robyn Phelan. The recent donation of the Bluestone Collection of contemporary craft to the RMIT Art Collection reflects the university's own commitment to the act of making and the creative application of skills. Built by a group of craft practitioners, writers and supporters dedicated to raising the profile of makers over the last decade, the Bluestone Collection features 20 works by as many artists, many of whom are RMIT alumni. The collection will be displayed from 18 March at RMIT's newly refurbished Carlton Library, Level 3, Building 94, 23-27 Cardigan Street, Carlton.

From embellishment and exaggeration to identity, gender and desire: RMIT Gallery's latest exhibition 'Pleasure' (29 November-7 March) presents the work of a diverse group of artists who used the body as a personal, provocative and at times political canvas. In this accompanying podcast, listen to Co-Curator Evelyn Tsitas and Communications Specialist Aeden Ratcliffe talk with artists John Pastoriza-Piñol, Ciara Murphy and Judith Glover about their works.
