Siann Boustead is a designer interested in immersive installations and novel technologies. Her practice advocates for mutualistic relationships between people and designed objects to create encounters which enrich and educate. \u2018Growing Pains\u2019 is an installation proposal for the Australian Pavilion at the Venice Biennale existing of three components: interior insertion, exterior intervention and a standalone object. It examines the ingrained fallacy that Australia is known as the \u2018lucky country\u2019. Far from the laid back, multicultural democracy we preach globally, the installation attempts to reconcile the doctrinal Australian image with the reality of a more complex identity. In the Pavilion, these inaccurate nationalistic assumptions take the form of grotesque growths \u2014 they breed within us to inform our views and can spill out to influence our interactions with others with far-reaching impacts. \u2018Growing Pains\u2019 advocates for the importance of curiosity and open-mindedness, challenging blind conformity that only reinforces existing views. When we start to appropriately interrogate our thoughts and act against them, we can eradicate these appendages, but not without leaving a scar and memory in their place. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":87095,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"portfolio_category":[114,94,83,81],"class_list":["post-87087","portfolio","type-portfolio","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","portfolio_category-a-d","portfolio_category-bachelor-design","portfolio_category-environmental-spatial-design","portfolio_category-installation"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/archive.annual.artdesign.unsw.edu.au\/2021\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/portfolio\/87087","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/archive.annual.artdesign.unsw.edu.au\/2021\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/portfolio"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/archive.annual.artdesign.unsw.edu.au\/2021\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/portfolio"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/archive.annual.artdesign.unsw.edu.au\/2021\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/8"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/archive.annual.artdesign.unsw.edu.au\/2021\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=87087"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/archive.annual.artdesign.unsw.edu.au\/2021\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/portfolio\/87087\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":87567,"href":"https:\/\/archive.annual.artdesign.unsw.edu.au\/2021\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/portfolio\/87087\/revisions\/87567"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/archive.annual.artdesign.unsw.edu.au\/2021\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/87095"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/archive.annual.artdesign.unsw.edu.au\/2021\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=87087"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"portfolio_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/archive.annual.artdesign.unsw.edu.au\/2021\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/portfolio_category?post=87087"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
