Generate 2020 on Show at JamFactory, Adelaide.

Generate 2020 is the tenth and final curated exhibition of work by the last cohort of artists and designers to complete the two-year JamFactory Associate training program. A celebration of JamFactory’s role in nurturing emerging talent, Generate has prevailed as an annual showcase of outstanding work and new ideas by the next generation of furniture and object designers, ceramic artists, glass practitioners and jewellers.

This year the exhibition features works by Michael Carney, Emma Cuppleditch, Katherine Grocott, Noah Hartley, Calum Hurley, Tala Kaalim, Jordan Leeflang, Xanthe Murphy, Bart Rentmeester, Ivana Taylor and Ayano Yoshizumi.

Standout pieces from the Furniture Studio’s include Ivana Taylor’s Wrapped Arch, Calum Hurley’s Dining Chair and Jordan Leeflang’s Cab Chair, arguably one of the best and brightest groups of Associates yet.

During their 2-year tenure, the Glass Studio Associates completed intensive workshops in-house with prominent names like Nick Mount, Yusuke Takemura, Anu Penttinen and Clare Belfrage.

In 2021, JamFactory’s Associate program will change to a more intensive one-year duration with the ability to extend to two or three years as a studio-based Associate. Those represented in Generate 2020 are the final group to complete the existing two-year training program.

Generate 2020 is on show at JamFactory, Adelaide in Gallery One from 4 December 2020 – 7 February 2021.
