Mark will then be joined in a panel discussion moderated by Kate Meyrick of Urbis/Future State to explore the subject from several perspectives. Presenting a theory of place honed over a decade of Cultural Capital’s practice, Mark McClelland will share his thoughts on how the work he calls cultural placemaking leads to cities in which our human spirits flourish and we experience a sense of belonging that contributes to both personal and community identity. The longevity of humans is the result of ourselves and technology evolving together and as one.Please join us at this year’s Vivid Sydney Ideas for Cultural Capital’s discussion ‘(Human) Nature and the City’. This combination of nature and technology working together is a reminder to the audience that as the Herston Quarter site develops into the future that it is important to view nature and technology co-existing and evolving as one organism. Each image has been treated to a mixture of digitally created filters and synthetic hand drawn textures. Unique Energies began as photographs captured in and around the national parks of greater Brisbane focusing on stimulating textures and spontaneous moments (energies that are unique) accruing in the in the landscape. Broken down into three artworks Flare, Float & Form, each artwork communicates a valuable story that relates to the heritage of the Herston Quarter site and the greater Brisbane surrounding land and creates a connection between the two.
Unique Energies is a celebration and expression of unique moments and vibrations that exist within the Herston Quarter and surrounding land of Brisbane.
KYM TABULO SERIES
The temporary commissions featured a series of 2D works on temporary displays by local emerging artists James Hornsby, Kym Tabulo and Cara-Ann Simpson. The permanent commissions include a series of discovery works by Belinda Smith and a seating art work by Elisa Jane Carmichael.
The art program consists of temporary and permanent public artworks.
The program also aims to recognise Indigenous cultural maintenance as central to health and well-being by commissioning works by Indigenous artists which will specifically explore Indigenous heritage. The program includes interactive works, which create environments that may be a combination of inspiring and uplifting, and restful and meditative to increase feelings of well-being. The strategy envisioned a precinct-wide collection of public artworks that support well-being for diverse audiences, promoting awareness of health issues, including mental health, by creating opportunities for artworks that provide intellectual stimulation or encourage mindfulness. Throughout the process Cultural Capital consulted with heritage consultants Urbis, architects Hassell and wayfinding consultancy Dot Dash to ensure consistency across the strategies.Ĭultural Capital’s strategy responded to the site’s past, present and future uses by creating opportunities for arts and health experiences to improve community and individual health and wellbeing. Cultural Capital was engaged to produce a Public Art Program for Herston Quarter, a mixed use precinct at the heart of one of Brisbane’s largest health precincts.
