Bridget Smyth, Design Director at City of Sydney, on the City’s plans to revitalise the city centre by testing new approaches to shaping public space.
New Century Garden: Talking About Public Art in Chinatown, produced by 4A Centre for Contemporary Asian Art in partnership with City of Sydney, examines the role of public space in Chinatown, using the specific idea of a garden as an initial proposal for a public art project.
The principle aim of the forum is to begin a public discussion on ideas, processes and concerns regarding new approaches to public art, particularly in regards to multidisciplinary ways of working that may allow for artists, designers, architects, planners and communities to come together in innovative and mutually rewarding contexts.
New Century Garden: Talking About Public Art in Chinatown is presented at 4A Centre for Contemporary Asian Art on Friday 21 October 2011.
