Excited to announce Yasmin Mund's second exhibition Concrete Jungle will exhibited for the first time at Tamarama Surf Life Saving Club, opening on the 14th April 2021.

Concrete Jungle visually explores and documents the residents and their homes in the iconic Glenview Court building. Yasmin’s photographic study looks across 15 apartments and their residents living in the worst building in one of Sydney’s most expensive suburbs. Bringing to light for the first and last time what living in Glenview Court was like, before receiving its much-needed upgrade. Through interviews the residents describe what living in the building has been like for them, how it served as their home, and how they feel about needing to leave for its upgrade, making this project an important piece of history. Subjects include Samantha Lane, author journalist, broadcaster and daughter of veteran journalist and commentator Tim Lane; Archibald Prize-winning artist Craig Ruddy; TV Director Adam Kiers who made a music video for the Australian duo No Mono at Glenview Court; Karen Halabi, a freelance journalist and editor and many more creative types.

Through the project Yasmin explores and documents the experience of residents living in an iconic apartment block where she resided for three years prior to its closure for re-development. Glenview Court is known as one of Sydney’s ugliest buildings in one of its most stunning locations. A brutalist white concrete block perched on a clifftop overlooking Tamarama Beach, it has been nicknamed The Beast, Tamarama Toaster, Soviet Hospital, and the Housing Commission. Originally designed by Australia’s most celebrated architect, Harry Seidler, its design was modified, and corners cut by the notorious Rene Rivkin’s developer father Walter Rivkin, who crammed 78 apartments into this seven-level 1960s eyesore that, over ensuing years, rapidly descended into dilapidation and disrepair. It hit major trouble ten years ago when it was served with numerous fire orders and was discovered to be riddled with concrete cancer.

Limited Edition Prints from Concrete Jungle will be released for sale on opening night and available from the exhibition.
