It’s time is located in the field of spatial design. It investigates the politics of disappearance through a proposal for site-specific public sculptures. It’s time began as a provocation about the spatial politics of memory, specifically the demise of a public square that no longer exists with any formal boundary in maps of Sydney but is part of the political folklore of a politician about to disappear. Dismissed Australian Prime Minister Gough Whitlam’s 1975 re-election rally on the corner of Oxford and College Streets in Hyde Park created a political stance that was commemorated by the naming of the site as Whitlam Square but subsequently ‘over-written’. The project focuses on the unprecedented shift in Australian law and legal reforms from 1972-75 under Whitlam’s Labour Government. It asks: How can legal reform be physically represented in a way that positions its relevance both as a dramatic shift from the pre-1972 political landscape and acknowledges its benefits to contemporary society. The project comprises two sculptures, each influenced by the obsolete mechanical device of the typewriter: one formed from typewriter hammers and the other its paper reciprocal. Together they describe a relationship between the space of democratic voice, the drafting of constitutional acts, and the empowerment that these laws offered Australian society. Through indentations, reliefs, punctuations and overlaying, a new communication is introduced, each a writing with the other. It’s time was exhibited at Carlton Project Space (part of the Chippendale Creative Precinct) and opened by City of Sydney Councillor Linda Scott and publisher Paul McGillick. McGillick subsequently featured the project in an article in Indesign magazine. |
