The beauty of the #TempleOfBoom in the garden of the @NGVMelbourne@twitter.com is that it’s going to evolve and change as more artists come in to repaint it - so you can visit and revisit and it will be a new experience when you do.

The creators of #TempleOfBoom at the @NGVMelbourne@twitter.com, Adam Newman & Kelvin Tsang, “invite audiences to reflect on the conversations that are enabled when this ancient building (the Parthenon) is viewed in new and surprising contexts”.

#TempleOfBoom at @NGVMelbourne@twitter.com provokes us to reconsider how we turn buildings like the Parthenon into artefacts, when architecture is an artistic practise of utility and engagement. The ancient Parthenon was a working building.

The @NGVMelbourne@twitter.com is encouraging Melbournians and visitors to envisage the #TempleOfBoom as a gathering place over the summer. There’s a curated programme of performances & live music ahead.

Kinda spectacular venue, imho.

Because art heals the heart…

Today, I’m at a media call for #TempleOfBoom - Adam Newman & Kelvin Tsang’s @NGVMelbourne@twitter.com Architecture Commission for 2022. This scale replica of the Parthenon is going to be painted and repainted over with large-scale artworks by Melbourne artists.
