Essay - Weekend at Bernie’s: Sculpture and the Dissolution of Site by David Cross
Please join us in celebrating our inaugural exhibition Incremental Loss by artist Robbie Rowlands. Rowlands manipulates the built environment into immersive sculptural site interventions that call to question our understanding of stability and vulnerability. This new work positions Rowlands’ (delete here) artistic practice within the transition of an historic site. Originally a 19th Century Union Bank, Incremental Loss blurs the boundaries between past, present and future.
Following the exhibition the site will be closed for renovation to become the new home of the National Centre for Photography. Rowlands will develop a photographic series of this work to be showcased at the Ballarat Intenational Foto Biennale in August 2019.
