HOME FROM HOME - Art & Language
A PUBLIC ART INTERVENTION
DECEMBER 2023
ROTHSCHILD, MENTMORE, DUNNING AVENUE, QUEEN STREET, HARCOURT PARADE, BOTANY AND GARDENERS ROAD, ROSEBERY
HOME FROM HOME is an event executed by SNO Contemporary Art Projects on behalf of Art & Language and the Château de Montsoreau Museum of Contemporary Art, Loire.
With Jesse Hogan, Anthea Duffy, George Squires, Annabelle McEwen, Tom Sandberg and Ruark Lewis.
HOME FROM HOME is the first part of a local COVID recovery public-art-initiative supported by Sydney City Council. In 2020, the pandemic situation worsened, and the local Rosebery abstract-art group SNO planned a series of modest public-art projects for the suburb. Our group wants to experiment with lightly-installed art interventions as temporary land-marks in the area. Around Rosebery, on the facades of obsolete factories, we will paste-up 7 posters from the HOME FROM HOME exhibition kit, devised by the Château de Montsoreau Museum of Contemporary Art as a gift to communities around the world. The origin of these posters are conceptual artworks by Michael Baldwin and Mel Ramsden of the Art & Language group. Some of these date back to the 1960s. The Rosebery inventions are dedicated to one of our SNO comrades Nigel Lendon (1944-2021), who was associated with the collective Art & Language in New York in the 1970s.
