Making Art Public: 50 years of Kaldor public art projects. Project 19 Tatzu Nishi: War And Peace And In Between After emigrating from Japan to Berlin, Japanese artist Tatzu Nishi was awestruck by the sheer number of public monuments and statues that populate the streets of European cities. Often these colossal towering statues are so familiar that they go unnoticed by city residents. Nishi enclosed Gilbert Bayes’ two larger-than-life equestrian sculptures outside the Art Gallery of New South Wales’ entrance within room-like structures, decorated inside; one as a domestic bedroom, and the other a living room. The idea of the monuments was reversed so that what was outdoor became indoor, and what was public and remote became intimate and private. Created to be viewed from a distance, from plinths that raise them above our heads, these monuments could now be encountered face to face. * * * * * * * #supergorgeousness #instagay #helleaux #learningtosee #inspirationiseverywhere #instagrammer #videoart #appropriation #artfag #arthag #KaldorCollection #ArtGalleryOfNewSouthWales #MakingArtPublic #StayAtHomeModel #TatzuNishi #WarAndPeaceAndInBetween (at Art Gallery of New South Wales) https://www.instagram.com/p/B9fGlpvBTbH/?igshid=13mwiv9otyis4
