PROJECT 53 Albert Street
CLIENT Nettleton Tribe Architects
LOCATION Brisbane, QLD, Australia
ARTIST Jennifer Marchant
ARTWORK TITLE Landlines
ART MANAGEMENT Urban Art Projects
YEAR 2008

Jennifer Marchant's map installation of Cunningham's Gap and the Main Range veils three elevations of a car park, creating a pedestrian viewpoint of the view to the south. They wrap counter clockwise around the structure, progressively diminishing until only a thread-like expression on the northern elevation remains.

Marchant's screens are both sculptural and functional. They help ventilate the sub-tropical car park, offering substantial cost savings to the developer by replacing costly mechanical systems. In doing so 'Landlines' exemplifies the value and opportunity of integrated artworks.
