<p><span><span><span><span>Public art has been integral to UNSW since its inception. From its earliest days the University has engaged leading contemporary artists to work closely with architects on building projects and placed sculptures in its grounds.</span></span></span></span></p> <p><span><span>In 1955 the first building to be opened on the Kensington campus included a major art commission. At over fourteen metres high, Tom Bass’s relief sculpture <em>The Falconer</em> at the entrance to the Old Main building was a public symbol of the values and aspirations of the fledgling university. </span></span></p> <p><span><span>As the university grew, art was commissioned for more buildings: </span></span><span><span>Douglas Annand’s abstract mosaic murals for the Dalton building (1958) complement its functionalist, modernist architecture; </span></span><span><span>Herbert Flugelman’s large figurative sculpture was sited in the courtyard of the award-winning Phillip Goldstein Hall (1964), and </span></span><span><span>Mona Hessing created a monumental weaving for the foyer of the Sir John Clancy Auditorium (1971). </span></span></p> <p><span><span>All of these projects embodied the university’s commitment to integrate the latest contemporary art with the best of modern architecture on the Kensington campus.</span></span></p> <p><span><span><span><span><span>The next phase of public art at UNSW came in 1992 as a result of the Campus Development Strategy which recommended the placement of sculpture in the University’s grounds. With the assistance of the U-Committee, philanthropic funds were raised to purchase five new works, followed by two site-specific commissions, awarded to Bronwyn Oliver in 2001 and Kate Cullity in 2006.</span></span></span></span></span></p> <p><span>The ongoing care and management of the University’s public art is shared by Estate Management and the Art Unit. In 2019 a joint program to revitalise campus art began with the restoration of Douglas Annand’s Dalton building stairwell mosaics. While some sculptures have been relocated as the campus continues to be developed, the recent refurbishment of Clancy Auditorium has re-established Mona Hessing’s tapestry as the centrepiece of the foyer. </span></p> <p><span>The University founders’ belief in the importance of public art to provide students and staff with everyday encounters with art and culture continues to inform the UNSW campus development with the establishment of a Public Art Advisory Committee in 2018. </span></p> <h4><span>Elena Taylor</span></h4> <p>Senior Curator of Art, UNSW Art Collection </p> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-paragraphs-content field--type-entity-reference-revisions field--label-hidden field--paragraphs-region field-items"> <div class="field-item"> <div class="tabs-vertical paragraph type-accordion section-style-grid background-default-hue foreground-default-hue grid-no-grow"> <div class="field field--name-field-items field--type-entity-reference-revisions field--label-hidden field--paragraph-children text-default-hue field-items-27 field-items"> <div class="field-item"> <div id="items-693" class="accordion-item type-item tabs-vertical-item"> <div aria-controls="items-693" class="paragraph-title expanded foreground-default-hue tabs-vertical-item"> <a href="#items-693" class="tabs-vertical-item"> <div class="field field--name-field-par-title field--type-string field--label-hidden field-item"> <h3>1.

The artist has used a chainsaw to carve the work from a single piece of River Red Gum, deliberately leaving the marks made by the chainsaw visible, believing this gives his work, ‘<span><span>much greater feeling of being alive and vibrant, with not faults but features. Less can be more in finishing a sculpture or a painting’.</span></span></span></p> <p><span>Armstrong’s monolithic works can have an imposing presence, and the artist has often spoken of his fascination with the monumental sculpture of ancient civilizations such as the Egyptians and Assyrians. However, they can also have a playfulness and child-like sensibility, appearing approachable and friendly. Placed at the entrance to <span><span>Tigger's Place Early Learning Centre, </span></span><em>It’s her time now </em>acts as a kind of guardian figure, standing watch over the children as they arrive. </span></p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="field-item"> <div id="items-695" class="accordion-item type-item tabs-vertical-item"> <div aria-controls="items-695" class="paragraph-title expanded foreground-default-hue tabs-vertical-item"> <a href="#items-695" class="tabs-vertical-item"> <div class="field field--name-field-par-title field--type-string field--label-hidden field-item"> <h3>2.

Working predominately with recycled materials including scrap metal, Rogers joins these together, allowing each piece to retain its unique identity and evidence of a past life.

She was highly regarded for her experimental tapestries which claimed a place for this traditionally female, craft-based practice within the male-dominated hierarchy of art.</span></p> <p><span>In 1970 Hessing was commissioned to create a 24-metre-long site-specific work for the new Sir John Clancy Auditorium. Hessing’s tapestry <em>Banner </em>is integrated perfectly with the building’s Brutalist architecture. Installed on a long, low wall above the entrance to the auditorium, the rich colours and dynamic texture of the woven and knotted wool provides contrast and warmth to the foyer’s austere concrete walls, and the vertical tapestry panels echo the rectangular forms of the ceiling coffers. The choice of a contemporary female artist for a work of this scale and prominence was a bold and forward-thinking decision by the University. Hessing had previously made a small woven wall hanging for Goldstein Hall, however the size and architectural integration of <em>Banner</em> place it among the University’s most significant public art commissions. The work took almost a year to complete, with Hessing engaging weavers in Panipat, India to hand-loom the 126 individual panels.</span></p> <div data-embed-button="image" data-entity-embed-display="view_mode:media.huge" data-entity-embed-display-settings="[]" data-entity-type="media" data-entity-uuid="a4c0bd52-d85a-40c5-a145-61ad3137b0e2" class="align-center embedded-entity" data-langcode="en"><div class="standard media media--type-image media--view-mode-huge"> <div class="field field--name-field-media-image field--type-image field--label-hidden field-item"> <img src="/sites/default/files/styles/huge/public/images/UNSW%20Mona-Hessing-Front_view.jpg?itok=W1tdTSNT" width="770" alt="UNSW Mona Hessing Front view" loading="lazy"> </div> </div> </div> <p><span><em>Banner</em> is one of the most important examples of modern textile art in Australia, and one of the few works by Hessing still in its original location.</span></p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="field-item"> <div id="items-697" class="accordion-item type-item tabs-vertical-item"> <div aria-controls="items-697" class="paragraph-title expanded foreground-default-hue tabs-vertical-item"> <a href="#items-697" class="tabs-vertical-item"> <div class="field field--name-field-par-title field--type-string field--label-hidden field-item"> <h3>4.

It employs the torso format, where only the trunk of a figure, without arms, head or legs is represented. Lawrence’s work is stylised and abstract, yet still strongly figurative: a sequence of fluid curves and undulating hollows suggests movement while convex surfaces suggest the outward pressure of internal forces.</span></span></span></p> <p><span><span><span>Patricia Lawrence began making sculpture when in her fifties and studied both in the USA and Australia. In 1990 Lawrence spent three months in Stockholm, Sweden where she began her sculptural investigations of the torso and head. She considers that sculpting the human figure is an endless fascinating challenge, her works contemplating the shared experiences of human existence through the physical shape of the body.</span></span></span></p> <div data-embed-button="image" data-entity-embed-display="view_mode:media.huge" data-entity-embed-display-settings="[]" data-entity-type="media" data-entity-uuid="ec7ee640-d97e-4bbe-84ec-eb7880d5894a" class="align-center embedded-entity" data-langcode="en"><div class="standard media media--type-image media--view-mode-huge"> <div class="field field--name-field-media-image field--type-image field--label-hidden field-item"> <img src="/sites/default/files/styles/huge/public/images/Patricia%20Lawrence%20-%20Torso%20turning%202.jpg?itok=Qcvx1jvu" width="770" alt="Patricia Lawrence - Torso turning 2" loading="lazy"> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="field-item"> <div id="items-698" class="accordion-item type-item tabs-vertical-item"> <div aria-controls="items-698" class="paragraph-title expanded foreground-default-hue tabs-vertical-item"> <a href="#items-698" class="tabs-vertical-item"> <div class="field field--name-field-par-title field--type-string field--label-hidden field-item"> <h3>5.

The work consists of six hinged panels, each containing a harmonious arrangement of suspended elements including an anvil, a clock weight and river stones, that embody references to the passing of time. A work of formal beauty and conceptual clarity, Dall’Ava’s intention was ‘to invoke a feeling of peace and tranquility.’</span></span></p> <p><span><em>Aspects from time</em> was Augustine Dall'Ava's first public commission and one of the first non-figurative sculptures acquired by the University. Dall'Ava selected the original location at the end of the Anzac Parade walkway in 1980, but due to the extension of the Mall in 1997 the work was moved to the Vice-Chancellor's Courtyard within a Japanese-style garden. From Italian heritage, Dall’Ava came to Australia as a child. He studied sculpture at RMIT, Melbourne and is one of Australia’s most highly regarded sculptors.</span></p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="field-item"> <div id="items-699" class="accordion-item type-item tabs-vertical-item"> <div aria-controls="items-699" class="paragraph-title expanded foreground-default-hue tabs-vertical-item"> <a href="#items-699" class="tabs-vertical-item"> <div class="field field--name-field-par-title field--type-string field--label-hidden field-item"> <h3>6.

Translating as ‘to work as one’, their collaborative practice sought to interrogate and critique the socio-political conditions of the Philippines during the 1990s, highlighting issues such as injustice and corruption. Depicting political and religious personalities, their works juxtaposed images of power, privilege and greed with suffering and poverty in a highly expressive, figurative style.</span></span></span></p> <p><span><span><span>In 1995 five members of Sanggawâ; Elmer Borlongan, Karen Flores, Mark Justiniani, Joy Mallari and Federico Sievert came to Australia to accompany an exhibition of their work at the Ray Hughes Gallery in Sydney. Coinciding with the opening of the exhibition, the group was invited to paint a mural on the UNSW campus.

After the Second World War Flugelman studied sculpture in Sydney before travelling in Europe and America for several years. On his return in the late 1950s, Flugelman worked in a highly expressive, semi-figurative style, of which his <em>Six figure group</em> is an important example. This work draws heavily upon the example of the great British sculptor Henry Moore whose sculptures were concerned with the interior and exterior space of the body, and similarly Flugelman has created openings in his figures which are revealed internal forms. In response to its intended placement, Flugelman’s sculpture is essentially frontal, the figures placed in a line, to create a rhythmical movement of mass and void.</span></span><span><span> While Flugelman achieved success with works in this style, a few years later his work changed radically when he began creating</span></span> <span><span>large-scale, minimalist sculptures in stainless steel for which he became well-known.</span></span></span></span></span></span></p> <div data-embed-button="image" data-entity-embed-display="view_mode:media.extra_large" data-entity-embed-display-settings="[]" data-entity-type="media" data-entity-uuid="fbe5549e-3454-4fae-b76b-7f62279abc28" class="align-center embedded-entity" data-langcode="en"><div class="standard media media--type-image media--view-mode-extra-large"> <div class="field field--name-field-media-image field--type-image field--label-hidden field-item"> <img src="/sites/default/files/styles/extra_large/public/images/13.Flugelman_detail_historical_01.jpg?itok=Kl3QIO0e" width="560" alt="UNSW Public Art Walk" title="UNSW Public Art Walk" loading="lazy"> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-caption field--type-string field--label-hidden field-item">Phillip Goldstein Hall, 1965 (Photographer Max Dupain, UNSW Archives, CN122/113)</div> </div> </div> <p><span><span><span><em><span><span><span><span>Six figure group</span></span></span></span></em><span><span><span><span> was UNSW’s third major public art commission for a new building.

In the form of a sphere and made from welded copper wire, its intricate construction resembles the interlocking veins of a leaf and creates a spiralling motion across the surface of the work. While its size and simplicity give it a substantial presence, its open construction gives it transparency and a sense of lightness. Since it was installed in 2002, <em>Globe </em>has become an iconic landmark of the Kensington campus.</span></span></span></p> <p><span><span><span>Oliver is regarded as one of Australia’s most significant sculptors who made a unique contribution to this art form.

He creates abstract patterns and sequences, often using linear forms to reference architecture whose titles are suggestive of ancient monarchs, religious and mythic figures. <em>Parousia </em>is an ancient Greek word meaning the physical presence of a person, and the prospect of the arrival of that person, especially an emperor or king. Clutterbuck’s title provides an insight into the imposing figurative character of his work which stands at almost two and a half metres high. An open, linear sculpture, it consists of a flat oval form raised on three legs, one in front of the others, giving an impression of forward movement. </span></span></span></p> <p><span><span><span>To make the work the artist constructed a full-size model from blocks of polystyrene. This was used to create a mould into which molten bronze was poured. In this process the polystyrene was burnt out, leaving rough edges and a pockmarked texture on the bronze. The artist chose to leave these marks and coloured the sculpture with a blue/green patina to resemble the appearance of an ancient artefact. He has stated, ‘I am much more fascinated by things that are very old than by where we are currently. They are intensely human. I have great respect for these early cultures.’</span></span></span></p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="field-item"> <div id="items-709" class="accordion-item type-item tabs-vertical-item"> <div aria-controls="items-709" class="paragraph-title expanded foreground-default-hue tabs-vertical-item"> <a href="#items-709" class="tabs-vertical-item"> <div class="field field--name-field-par-title field--type-string field--label-hidden field-item"> <h3>16.

Herbert Read's poem <em>The Falcon and the Dove</em> provided Bass with the starting inspiration for the complex symbolism of the work: the falcon for reason and the dove for beauty, the horse as the emblem of industry and the falconer for technology, while the constellation represents research and the arrow points to new directions of thought. All elements are connected by the rays of the sun, indicating that the aesthetic factor should be considered in all the activities of the University. </span></span></span></p> <div data-embed-button="image" data-entity-embed-display="view_mode:media.extra_large" data-entity-embed-display-settings="[]" data-entity-type="media" data-entity-uuid="d6844651-571d-44c6-bc8b-97e6e280e73b" class="align-center embedded-entity" data-langcode="en"><div class="standard media media--type-image media--view-mode-extra-large"> <div class="field field--name-field-media-image field--type-image field--label-hidden field-item"> <img src="/sites/default/files/styles/extra_large/public/images/17.Bass_Falconer_detail_historical_01.jpg?itok=Iei_7mPh" width="560" alt="UNSW Public Art Walk" title="UNSW Public Art Walk" loading="lazy"> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-caption field--type-string field--label-hidden field-item">First Graduation Ceremony on the Kensington campus and opening of the Main Building, UNSW, 16 April 1955</div> </div> </div> <p><span><span><span>The sculpture took almost two years to complete and was installed in 1955 prior to the opening of the building.</span></span></span></p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="field-item"> <div id="items-711" class="accordion-item type-item tabs-vertical-item"> <div aria-controls="items-711" class="paragraph-title expanded foreground-default-hue tabs-vertical-item"> <a href="#items-711" class="tabs-vertical-item"> <div class="field field--name-field-par-title field--type-string field--label-hidden field-item"> <h3>18.

His subsequent report admired the ‘blending of architecture, sculpture, painted and glass mosaic murals’ and the creation of an ‘atmosphere of informal friendliness and fitness for purpose, both restrained and beautiful’.</span></span></span></p> <p><span><span><span>As a result, Sydney artist and designer Douglas Annand was commissioned to create two large-scale glass mosaic murals for the Dalton Building. At that time, Annand was at the peak of his career. He had begun in the 1930s with commercial art, and later turned his energies towards large-scale architectural projects, receiving numerous commissions and awards. For the three levels of the stairwell, Annand designed four roundels, three of which are repeated with slight variations. </span></span></span></p> <p><span><span><span>They are set into a white tiled background and appear to float on the walls of this light and airy modernist space. In muted tones of greens, greys and browns, Annand’s abstract designs resemble cell-like structures or naturally occurring forms. Annand created the roundels in his studio, with help from his daughter-in-law Suzanne Annand and assistant Mitzi McColl, which were transferred to the stairwell wall.

His first visit was as a postgraduate student in 1991 and since this time he has returned many times as the course convenor of UNSW Art & Design’s annual field trips.</span></span></span></p> <p><span><span><span>In <em>The things you pick up 2</em> Sharp creates a unique dialogue between two elements: a 1.5 tonne, 1.4 billion-year-old metasedimentary rock from Fowlers Gap, and a simple forked structure, reminiscent of a tool used for some redundant or long-forgotten purpose, fashioned from recycled eucalyptus. Sharp describes the sculpture as a metaphor for how the Fowlers Gap landscape has been activated and studied for more than fifty years. ‘When you travel around the property you will often find manmade objects that are the remnants of experiments or scientific studies — I wanted the viewer to experience this visual conundrum with the natural and manmade.’ While there is a dry sense of humour in the title of the work, it also reminds us how we are compelled to keep objects that carry within them the memory of a place or experience. </span></span></span></p> <p><span><span><span>In 2016 the artist donated the sculpture to UNSW with assistance from UNSW Faculty of Science, to mark the 50th anniversary of scientific research at Fowlers Gap. Enlarged versions of drawings made by Sharp where the rock was collected were applied to the windows of the Chemistry building behind the sculpture to create a link back to the Fowler’s Gap site.</span></span></span></p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="field-item"> <div id="items-719" class="accordion-item type-item tabs-vertical-item"> <div aria-controls="items-719" class="paragraph-title expanded foreground-default-hue tabs-vertical-item"> <a href="#items-719" class="tabs-vertical-item"> <div class="field field--name-field-par-title field--type-string field--label-hidden field-item"> <h3>22.

In the 1960s Robertson-Swann had studied in London at St Martin’s School of Art with highly influential British sculptor Anthony Caro who had developed a new approach to sculpture. On his return to Australia in 1968 Robertson-Swann shot to prominence for his own hard-edged abstract works painted in bright industrial colours, that continued Caro’s spatial investigations.</span></span></span></p> <p><span><span><span><em>North-Down</em> is characteristic of Robertson-Swann’s style. Constructed of curved, straight and circular shapes in an elongated horizontal arrangement, it is intended to be placed on the ground. The relationship of elements and their reduced points of contact creates linear movement and suggests improvisation and chance. The use of satin-finished automotive paint draws each of these shapes together, so as the eye does not rest on one section but traverses along the whole without distraction. <em>North Down</em> was made after a visit to Tasmania in 1982, partly inspired by the artist’s visit to an undulating seaside farm near Devonport.</span></span></span></p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="field-item"> <div id="items-954" class="accordion-item type-item tabs-vertical-item"> <div aria-controls="items-954" class="paragraph-title expanded foreground-default-hue tabs-vertical-item"> <a href="#items-954" class="tabs-vertical-item"> <div class="field field--name-field-par-title field--type-string field--label-hidden field-item"> <h3>24.

The overarching story recognises that for the local mob, as saltwater people their totem is the whale.
