RMIT Gallery Director and Chief Curator, Suzanne Davies, said there was an amazing response from gallery visitors and critics to the work – constructed within the RMIT Gallery for the Shelter: On Kindness exhibition – with innumerable requests that it be found a new home once the exhibition was over. Professor Fujimori constructed his contemporary tea house using charred wood from areas affected by the Victorian bushfires, with the help of RMIT Architecture student volunteers.

Gold coin donation Terunobu Fujimori will discuss his architectural activities. EXHIBITION SHELTER: ON KINDNESS Presented by RMIT Gallery in association with ArtPlay as part of the Melbourne International Arts Festival Curators: Suzanne Davies, Vanessa Gerrans and Sarah Morris RMIT Gallery brings together artists, architects, writers and thinkers to reflect on what qualities of environment and circumstance afford us shelter in a physical and metaphorical sense. Is shelter a sense of safe haven, a place to protect ourselves from the natural elements, from the unrelenting pressures of modern life or, perhaps, a place or space to reflect on our innermost thoughts? Shelter: On Kindness is about tea houses, contemporary architecture, cattlemen’s huts and aboriginal shades. It examines ideas of nurture and kindness through the filter of the writings of psychoanalyst and author Adam Phillips and historian Barbara Taylor in On Kindness, Penguin, 2009.
