Monuments
Join us for an exhibition at Maribyrnong Park Bowls Club
A monument does not necessarily equate to a monumental building.
Monuments are everywhere. Sometimes they are subtle, a rock or a bubbler, only distinguished by their bronze plaque. Sometimes they are gaudy and outlandish, a new Returned Service League (RSL) filled equal parts with memorabilia and pokies machines. Mostly inconspicuous, these types of monuments are so prolific that they appear invisible, or at least unnoticed.
In collaboration with mori and Monash Art, Design, and Architecture (MADA), this exhibition focuses on these particular building-monuments – on clubs, leagues, halls, and pools – to discern the multiple ways meaning and feeling is embedded in these places.
Located at the old Maribyrnong Park Bowls & Croquet Club and open for a limited time before things change.
Session Times:
Friday 15 May 5pm to 8pm
Saturday 16 May 9am to 12pm
Image: Old Time Dance, Memorial Hall built in 1930, Falls Road, Fish Creek by Alan K. Jordan.
Melbourne Design Week is an initiative of the Victorian Government through Creative Victoria.
