Some may say design is solutions-driven, whereas art tends to pose more questions than answers. The boundaries between the two disciplines are increasingly blurred, with many intentionally challenging the idea of using ‘functionality’ to differentiate the two.
The National Gallery of Victoria (NGV) has embedded design into the fabrics of its exhibitions, programming and commissions. Melbourne Now, Melbourne Design Week and Melbourne Design Fair, MECCA x NGV Women in Design Commission, NGV Architecture Commission and more, further show this interest from an institutional level.
