“Garabara”立面艺术装置，悉尼 / UAP + Robert Andrew

位置:

该项目是UAP与艺术家Robert Andrew合作为悉尼大学新建成的艺术与社会科学学院大楼设计的艺术作品。UAP针对该场地提出的策展框架是“一个静坐与涂绘的场所：在原住民的土地上进行分享与讲述”，鼓励艺术家在知识共享、历史和语言等领域进行更深入的探索。

Curated by UAP, Robert Andrew’s site-specific artwork was created for the newly developed Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences building at the University of Sydney. To create a context for artists to investigate, UAP developed the curatorial framework, ‘A Sit Down & Paint Up Place: Sharing and Storytelling in Possum Ground on Gadigal Land’ and the ‘Wingara Mura Design Principles’ for artists to explore ideas of knowledge sharing, histories, language and recognition of elders.

项目团队选择与澳大利亚艺术家Robert Andrew合作，共同完成作品的设计、制作和安装。该作品被命名为“Garabara”，它在澳洲传统文化的语境中代表着一种知识的传递和对历史的讲述。艺术家将这一词汇永久性地印刻在教学楼的立面上，作为对场地以及它的校园身份的回应。为了使作品呈现出自然锈蚀的质感，UAP与艺术家对材料、数字3D建模以及摄影制图法进行了大量的研究。

Australian artist Robert Andrew was selected by the project team to work closely with UAP to design, fabricate and install the final outcome, titled Garabara. A major aspect of Indigenous culture – the word ‘Garabara’ is used in ceremony for storytelling and as a means of passing on knowledge. The artist’s use of this word as a permanent part of the building’s façade responds to the site as both traditional land of the Gadigal People, and as a university – a place to reveal and share new knowledge. Created with the intent to appear naturally eroded and stained on the building’s exterior, UAP worked closely with Andrew through extensive material research, digital 3D modelling and photogrammetry — resulting in the accurate representation of eroded surfaces.
