I don't think this particular piece of work is shown enough.
The
signs of gentrification are increasingly evident in different
parts of Brunswick. It is
often a misconception that to maintain a certain character of a place, the
place itself has to be locked up in a glass box and viewed from a distance. But
in reality, it is the people that inhabit Brunswick that give meaning to the
place. Brunswick is identified by the people that live, work and play there,
calling it their home.
The proposal is to create a public place that explores and exploits the human
qualities and activities that come naturally from Brunswick. A strong core of
visual artists has lived around the area for at least 15 years. A broader
artistic community has bloomed- writers, film makers, photographers,
ceramicists, musicians, sculptors and performance artists. By integrating an
arts based facility with a public centre, Brunswick ART-ficial Park fuses activity
with both architecture and landscape, a hub for the arts that flows on to
adjacent spaces.
I love this project.
