INSIDE THE GALLERY (AUSTRALIA) - JUMAADI'S UPSIDE DOWN GARDEN

About this episode

This episode features a discussion about Jumaadi's Upside-Down Garden installation and the collaborative efforts behind it.

Created by Indonesian/Australian artist Jumaadi, Upside-Down Garden is a magical environment that evokes the transformation of life and objects from one state to another. Located in Sydney's Barangaroo precinct, this public installation is a multilayered intervention, imbued with personal mythologies and cultural references. It holds fragments of time, creatures, history -both seen and unseen- memory and speculation. In this episode Tim Stackpool speaks with co-curators Holly Williams and Glenn Barkley about the work, the collaboration, and the challenges of creating artwork for a developing public space.More information about the work: https://www.barangaroo.com/see-do-stay/upside-down-gardenUpside Down Garden by Jumaadi.Curated by Holly Williams and Glenn Barkley through The Curators’ Department.Project architect Caroline CominoSoundscape Michael Toisuta A transcript of this discussion is available for download here, courtesy of the Australian Arts Channel.
