Kaldor Public Art Project 25: Thomas Demand 2012

'The Dailies'

23 March - 22 April 2012

Commercial Travellers' Association, MLC Centre, Sydney City

For the 25th Kaldor Public Art Project, Thomas Demand presents a new series of images, 'The Dailies', within the unique environment of the Commercial Travellers' Association (CTA) club, part of the MLC Centre designed by celebrated Australian architect Harry Seidler in the mid 1970s. Demand, known for his full-scale recreations of environments made entirely from paper and card that he photographs and later destroys, so that they remain only as images, occupies an entire hotel floor on the CTA building's level 4. His installation, displayed throughout the bedrooms that extend out from a circular corridor, had a disorientating effect. The Project extends out to a totally new environment, exploring an extraordinary architectural setting for his works, a first for the artist and a unique experience for Sydney.
