CarriageWorks Arts Centre
Sydney, NSW |
he Hanging Gardens & Other Tales
was a neighbourhood-specific installation created
at Carriageworks Arts Centre from pot plants loaned
by local residents, as part of the Underbelly
08 Public Arts Lab + Festival. A collaboration
with Diego
Bonetto, the project involved collecting stories
from each plant’s owner, and hanging both
stories and plants using the remnant structural
components of this historic converted railyard.
As each plant was delivered to our reception
desk, a registration form with care instructions
was completed and filed and an individual ink
drawing was made. Their home location was marked
on a 1989 map of the area, and they were then
added to the installation to be looked after for
the duration of the two-week project. The exhibition
is currently being migrated to a
blog and will eventually become a print publication
featuring the drawings and hand-written stories.
