The launch of kerb 17 Is L.A. Dead was a huge success.
We saw 200+ guests at The open Space Gallery on the

Contextual Villains and Kristian Taylor-Wood.

Many positive discussions and comments were made
about the Journal: "I wanted to take the opportunity
to congratulate you and all the contributors to kerb 17 to
the amazing, thought provoking, inspiring and beautiful
outcome that was produced." - Marieluise

“There are certain strengths that we take for granted in our urban environment and the objects that we surround our selves with.” Robbie Rowlands

kerb 17 critiques current modes of thinking about the practice of landscape architecture, offering up a discussion of where landscape architecture is, what it has evolved from, and what it might become in the future. The collection of works and ideas by international and Australian designers and artists featured in kerb 17 respond and demonstrate how through the medium of landscape and a potential mediation of design disciplines we can reconsider contemporary ideas of landscape.

Robbie Rowlands is a Melbourne based artist whose work explores notions of stability and vulnerability through the manipulation of objects and environments. His repetitious and precise cuts and the resulting distortions reflect the inescapable passing of time that affects everything around us.

Thank you to our sponsors CLEMS Conference Links and Event Management Services, COFIELD Wines, MOUNTAIN GOAT, CRUMPLER & RMIT
