ART MOVES | EXPRESSION OF INTEREST

PUBLIC ART PROJECT

THE CHANGINGSPACES OF SYDNEY

Public art doesn’t hang on the wall. It occupies real

space. You can walk around it, immerse yourself in

its multiple dimensions and relate to it on a more

personal level. This year, we’re using the power

of art and creativity to change the way locals and

visitors relate to their favourite spaces around

Kensington and Kingsford.

If you’re an aspiring artist, sculptor, performer,

creative company, student or industry leader, we’d

like you to express your interest in the Transport

for NSW ArtMoves program by submitting your

concepts. With strong support from Randwick

City Council five sites along the CBD and South

East Light Rail route have been identified for

transformation and your art will encourage locals

and visitors to explore the area and use these

spaces in new ways.

ARTMOVES WILL BE TAKING

SUBMISSIONS FROM 7 NOVEMBER 2016

TO 31 MARCH 2017.

This is an invitation to submit

your concepts for new public

art which will foster memorable

and interactive experiences for

residents, workers and visitors in the

Kensington and Kingsford areas.

Five sites have been identified,

in partnership with Randwick City

Council, for transformation and your

artworks will help build excitement

and engagement in these areas,

encouraging locals and visitors

to explore them and use them

in new ways.

THE BRIEFYour project can transform

one or more of the five

public sites into a creative

piece that will engage the

community. You’ll need to

consider each of the sites’

individual nuances such as:

• Location

• Community

• History

• Local Stakeholders

• Size

• Existing infrastructure

• Any new uses for the area

• Street Art

• Sculpture

• Infrastructure Design – seating, tables, weather cover, screens etc.

• Landscape Design – plants, ground cover etc.

• Lighting and Projection - minimum maintenance only

• Performance

• Soundscapes

• Local Business involvement

• Something completely new

PROJECTS CAN INCLUDE ONE OR A

COMBINATION OF THE FOLLOWING

FOR EACH SITE:

SITE OVERVIEWThere are five sites up for

creative consideration across

Kensington and Kingsford.

They’re the perfect location for

artworks that will encourage

visitors to explore the area and

its vibrant businesses.

The five sites available are within

the following locations:

• Duke Street

• Todman Avenue

• Strachan Street

• Borrodale Road

• Southern Cross Close

Your installation must be weatherproof

and able to last for the full duration of the

event with minimal upkeep. The sites do

not have services such as water, power and

gas available. Security for the installations

will not be provided. All locations noted

in this document are subject to change.

Additionally, please note that ArtMoves

may choose to select an alternate site for

an installation to the one proposed as part

of the EOI process for creative, risk, safety,

development consent/landowner approval

reasons.

CREATIVE CONSIDERATIONS:

This unpowered 3m x 3m site is located on uneven

ground in a highly visible thoroughfare right before

a set of traffic lights. There is a footpath that runs

between the site and a nearby building so work

must not impede pedestrian access to the building.

The site has streetlights lighting the area plus

several park benches that can be repositioned,

removed or repainted if it suits your project.

• Public Art Installation

• Performance

• Sound Installation

• Way-finding

• Day and night time activation

DUKE STREET AND ANZAC PARADE, KENSINGTON

POTENTIAL FOR ONE OR A COMBINATION OF THE FOLLOWING:


This unpowered site consists of two separate 3m

x 1m spaces. The spaces run lengthways between

a row of trees and are not connected. The site

is lit by streetlights and is located right outside

The Greek Taverna Restaurant, so any creative

piece must not impede pedestrian access to the

building.

• Activation Place



• Performance


TODMAN AVENUE AND ANZAC PARADE, KENSINGTON



This unpowered site is at a busy thoroughfare

before a set of traffic lights. There is street

lighting and a footpath that runs between the

site and a building so your work must not impede

pedestrian access. The wall of the building may

be available to use, subject to owner permission.

There are also two park benches with tables

and bins that can be repositioned, removed

or repainted if it suits your project.



• Performance

• Lighting and Projection


• Street art

STRACHAN STREET AND ANZAC PARADE, KINGSFORD



This unpowered site is at the entry point to the

Chancellor Plaza and the gateway to a wide variety

of Asian inspired restaurants. Your work must not

impede pedestrian access to the area. There’s also

a public bench that can be repositioned, removed,

repainted or replaced if it suits your project and

there is the potential to reposition the flagpoles

currently on Anzac Parade into Borrodale Road.

The site does have street lighting.

• Street Art


• Performance


• Way-finding - gateway across

road or similar regarding

restaurant precinct

BORRODALE ROAD AND ANZAC PARADE, KINGSFORD



This unpowered site is a thoroughfare that connects

Anzac Parade to a parking lot. It includes a shade

structure, seating, a rubbish bin and a water outlet.

There is an existing art piece on a nearby wall

that commemorates Sir Charles Kingsford Smith

which can’t be impacted. The site is in a central

location and right next to a busy restaurant precinct.

Members of the public can utilise the park bench

and bin but these can be repositioned, removed,

repainted or replaced if it suits your project.

• Activation idea


• Performance


• Lighting and Projection

• Way-finding - gateway across

road or similar regarding

restaurant precinct

SOUTHERN CROSS CLOSE AND ANZAC PARADE, KINGSFORD


EXHIBITION DATES

ArtMoves will be selecting

and rolling out projects over

several months. We’re looking

for installations that are:

• Short Term – delivered within

one month of approval

• Medium Term – delivered within

two months of approval

All works submitted should be

temporary, but there’s a chance

they’ll stick around on a permanent

basis if they become a loved part of

the community. Transport for NSW

with each artist to agree on the future

of each installation piece.
