reimagining the clubhouse | MDW 2025


  • Runner-Up Bar @ Collingwood Yards 35 Johnston Street Collingwood, VIC, 3066 Australia (map)

Re-imaging the Club House is a 12 hour exhibition, competition and networking opportunity (party) at Runner Up. The event presents design as critical in preserving and challenging the codified behaviour of sporting club houses. The event explores the club house as a site of both inclusion and exclusion that catalyses cultural norms associated with race, gender, politics, environment, access and inclusivity.

Re-imaging the Club House includes a designer floor talk and group exhibition with the works of eight designers working across a variety of mediums. There will be a trophy making competition, where participants will compete in teams using repurposed sports affiliated items. Found Golf, Katie Kelso and Good Sport Magazine will be staging an intervention at Runner Up bar: come prepared to listen to club music, have a sausage from the community canteen, or purchase your latest kit from the uniform store.
