period- exact times to be confirmed)
Exhibition open 26th - 28th August
The land around Milton Creek is undergoing rapid
change: Previously a landfill site the area is now
in transition from wasteland to country park. On
paper, the strategic vision for the park is
complete. In reality though the site feels uncertain
- in between states, unsure of what it is. Change
Management will involve a two week programme of
action to embed the strategic vision for the area
into the landscape itself. Actions will include
workshops for weeds, presentations for paths and
life coaching for the creek. Though a targeted
programme of events Dan and Trish Scott will prime
the landscape to deliver the aspirational outcomes
expected of it. The project will examine how
language and corporate processes shape perceptions
of place and the gap between ideology and reality.
The piece will use the Room as its base and at the
end of the residency the project's process and
outcomes will be displayed via a three day
exhibition.
