As the inaugural annual sculpture commission in the Ian Potter Sculpture Court, ‘This Place Will Always Be Open’ explores the role and legacy of the university campus and museum as a site of political potential.
The work draws its title and conceptual framework from the experimental student struggles at Monash University during the 1960s and 70s. Floyd incorporates a series of activities, events and publications so the work serves as a space for social encounter, reinvoking a utopian spirit that is open, inclusive, free, provisional and generative.
