Henry Pyne

Henry Pyne is a Thailand-born, Melbourne-based spatial practitioner and graphic designer exploring and developing contemporary theories often through a science-fiction lens. Henry’s practice involves a diverse range of practices involving fashion, architecture and interior design, performance and installation art, and sound production. His multidisciplinary research is centred in technology, neuroscience, and social encounter– abstracting processes of deep research to manifest hybrid concepts. As an emerging practitioner, his proposals and outcomes often act as collaborative experiments—research and iterations striving to further the knowledge and practice of self and others.

Henry holds a Bachelor (Honours) in Interior Architecture at Monash University Art & Design and is the recipient of the Interior Architecture Futures Award 2018 for his thesis, Cognition. Previous projects include Malevolent Soap, a co-curated literature-exhibition at Trelorland, 2018; co-curation and installation design for Visitor Gallery, 2018; and exhibition design and collaborative work for Le Brothers, Hue, Vietnam in 2017. Henry undertook a mentorship with Thanh and Hai Le at New Space Arts Foundation in 2017; an internship with Sibling Architecture in 2018; and is currently a curatorial intern with Liquid Architecture.

Current practice involves: director for collaborative research-platform: unbuilt-anon.space, creative-direction for event series SOI, curatorial intern for Liquid Architecture, and exhibition design for And I Strongly Suggest You Wear Sensible Shoes (RMIT Fashion, Hons).

Henry is part of our M_Curators initiative.

 

Wominjeka (Welcome). We acknowledge the Yaluk-ut Weelam as the traditional custodians of the land on which we meet. Yaluk-ut Weelam means ‘people of the river camp’ and is connected with the coastal land at the head of Port Phillip Bay, extending from the Werribee River to Mordialloc. The Yaluk-ut Weelam are part of the Boon Wurrung, one of the five major language groups of the greater Kulin Nation. We pay our respects to the land, their ancestors and their elders—past, present and to the future.
