Broached Retreat

Broached Commissions and Asialink Arts present Broached Retreat, the first design show to be commissioned for exhibition at the prestigious Ullens Centre for Contemporary Art (UCCA), Beijing.

Curated by Australian based design studio Broached Commissions, Broached Retreat brings together a group of highly acclaimed international designers from Melbourne, Tokyo, Beijing and London.

The UCCA exhibition extends Broached Commissions unique practice of inviting international designers to collaborate on discussions surrounding the history of design, and research into concerns such as colonialism and globalization. Broached Retreat explores Australia's unique position as a mediator between European cultural traditions and a longstanding intellectual engagement with its East and Southeast Asian neighbours.

Broached Retreat takes the studio's first two highly successful collections, Broached Colonial & Broached East, and places them in a new context- a pavilion made from paper and stone.
