Building-monuments: Use and Presence

In a few weeks’ time, join architect and academic Nyoah Rosmarin in a one-hour lecture about functional monuments at Incinerator Gallery followed by a viewing of Maribyrnong Park Bowls Club – both functional monuments that serve civic purpose and are emblematic of an era.

“Monuments are weird things” says Rosmarin, “we recognise the monumentality of a pyramid due to its scale, form, and historical significance. At the same time, we place plaques in rocks to mark an event of meaning, or to embed something said in matter. In both cases, monuments translate intangible memory into physical presence. This presentation focuses on building-monuments or “functional monuments” to directly explore this negotiation between use and meaning.

Saturday, 24 October
11.30am - 1.00pm
Tickets required - $15
