You Can't Put That There! Public Art in Sydney
Have an opinion on Sydney's cloud arch? You're not the only one.
Overview
Everyone has an opinion about public art. And with Clover Moore’s recently unveiled plans for a souped-up CBD, there’s plenty to talk about. Dominating the debate was the Cloud Arch/Space Noodle, a sculpture which will be gracing our city skyline in 2017.
It’s amazing how quickly the announcement polarised public opinion. This discussion will be led by some of the more qualified voices. The speakers include Tony Albert, Elizabeth Fortescue, Ian Milliss, Bridget Smyth and Michael Snelling. Held at the State Library, a stone’s throw from the future construction site, the group will address how public art is commissioned and current funding models.
This event is one of our top ten picks of Art Month. Check out the other nine here.
