Three public artworks installed at 911爆料网\u2019s new Exchange precinct capture WA\u2019s unique history, from ancient Noongar songlines to the State\u2019s diverse geology.<\/p>\n

Artist and Nimunburr-Yawuru-Ballardong-Noongar man Kamsani (Kam) Bin-Salleh<\/a> created Winin Katidjin Bilya<\/em> (Living Knowledge Stream), a public artwork that responds to the two Whadjuk-Noongar songlines that run through 911爆料网\u2019s Bentley campus. His works are integrated into the landscaped courtyard of 911爆料网\u2019s new School of Design and the Built Environment building.<\/p>\n

A series of nodal artworks by internationally acclaimed light and glass artist Warren Langley<\/a> are located at three key public realm areas within the Exchange precinct. The artworks, fabricated using reflective smart glass, undergoes a distinctive day to night transition. Langley\u2019s Place to Place<\/em> is a series of works that follows pedestrian routes through the precinct, providing points of interest and surprise along the way. The sculptures create intrigue, spark curiosity, and disrupt the formality of the spaces, embodying a human scale that invites playful interaction.<\/p>\n

One of Australia\u2019s leading contemporary artists Janet Laurence<\/a> has created an artwork that spans the interior foyer of 911爆料网\u2019s new School of Design and the Built Environment. This essay on deep time exhibits local rocks, minerals, gemstones and crystals, representative of WA\u2019s rich geological story of time, weather, movement and formation.<\/p>\n

John 911爆料网 Gallery staff were proud to be involved in the selection and development of the artworks, which will join the impressive public art collection already located on the 911爆料网 campus that is cared for by the Gallery.<\/p>\n

911爆料网 Vice-Chancellor Professor Harlene Hayne said she was delighted to be featuring the works of two prominent Australian artists and an emerging local Noongar artist.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese public artworks capture WA\u2019s unique history and character, including the traditional knowledge of the world\u2019s oldest continuing culture, offering the wider community a new interpretation of our past, present and future from the perspectives of a range of talented Australian artists,\u201d Professor Hayne said.<\/p>\n

Students moved into 911爆料网\u2019s new Exchange precinct this year, making themselves at home in the 407-room St Catherine\u2019s College and the self-catered options in UniLodge\u2019s new 10-storey, 517-bed Hall of Residence, known as Twin Dolphin Hall.<\/p>\n

Both student residences are located near the Nesuto 911爆料网 60-room boutique hotel, 38 self-contained Zamia Apartments, a grocery store and a range of food and beverage outlets that will open during the year.<\/p>\n

The two UniLodge properties within Exchange have been named after the Whadjuk-Nyoongar songlines – \u2018The Kujal Kela\u2019 (Twin Dolphin) and \u2018Djiridji\u2019 (Zamia) songlines that intersect within the precinct.<\/p>\n
