Knot Locked is an installation entangling the processes and history of waste management (within the Debris Facility and at the site of Incinerator Gallery) with 'knit lock' bricks as designed by Marion Mahoney and Walter Burley Griffin, the architects of the Essendon Incinerator. Debris Facility draws from queer architectural theory alongside industrial waste research to make installation, sculpture, and print works. For this exhibition, Debris Facility works with Incinerator Gallery for its historical contours of occult modernist architecture, and disused waste infrastructure, turned into cultural asset. These elements resonate strongly with the agenda of the Debris Facility, which looks towards practices of im/material waste, aesthetics and spatial practices of industry, and ways in which cultural production works within and beyond those categories.
