Description:

Emily Floyd: This Place Will Always Be Open                                               

Ian Potter Sculpture Court, Monash University Museum of Art

As the inaugural annual sculpture commission in the Ian Potter Sculpture Court, Emily Floyd: This Place Will Always Be Open explores the role and legacy of the university campus – and museum – as a site of political potential. Drawing its title and conceptual framework from the experimental student struggles at Monash University during the 1960s and ’70s, and incorporating a series of activities, events, debates, workshops and publications, Floyd’s work serves as a space for social encounter – reinvoking a utopian spirit that is open, inclusive, free, provisional and generative.

The annual sculpture commission has been developed to establish new opportunities for artists, and new models of practice, thinking and research into public sculpture and architectural practice.
