Bringing together a new, gallery-commissioned wall drawing and jumping castle war memorial – commissioned by DETACHED, Hobart and UQ Art Museum, Queensland in association with Urban Art Projects, and featured in the 17th Biennale of Sydney, 2010 –, this installation turns the gallery into a site of both mourning and transformation.
With the walls and monumental inflatable installation adorned with Wiradjuri designs, the gallery acts as a glass viewing room for the artwork’s death; its closing iteration – an act that embodies the exhaustion of the memorial as a fixed, authoritative form.
