Wednesday 29 March, 5.30-7pm // Art Collective WA, Cathedral Square
Join us for an insightful panel discussion.
Deliberate inclusion of contemporary art in the interior design strategy when restoring or re-developing heritage buildings, offers ways for the past to be experienced in the present, and for the present to activate the past.
Recent examples include the State Buildings in Perth and Ace Hotel Sydney where curated art collections and commissioning artists have created impressive focal points that recontextualise and enliven the building.
The panel discusses their approach to selecting, commissioning, and creating contemporary art for heritage redevelopments.
Facilitator: Neil Cownie, architect
Panellists: Michelle Blakeley, architect; Elaine McElroy, interior designer; Joanna Lamb, artist.
