INSIDE THE GALLERY (AUSTRALIA) - JUMAADI’S UPSIDE DOWN GARDEN

Created by Indonesian/Australian artist Jumaadi, Upside-Down Garden is a magical environment that evokes the transformation of life and objects from one state to another.

Located in Sydney's Barangaroo precinct, this public installation is a multilayered intervention, imbued with personal mythologies and cultural references. It holds fragments of time, creatures, history -both seen and unseen- memory and speculation. 

In this episode Tim Stackpool speaks with co-curators Holly Williams and Glenn Barkley about the work, the collaboration, and the challenges of creating artwork for a developing public space.
