Public Art

Gallery 3 & Courtyard
Roomsheet

Nick Breedon’s solo exhibition Public Art interrogates the function and possibilities of public art in queer/trans/crip futurity. Monumental sculptures in bronze, aluminium and concrete act as propositional public artworks, or works about the field and culture of public art. Appropriating, and literally stealing materials from the canon of western monumental sculpture, Public Art draws from niche internet queer culture to explore modalities for representation, playing with the tension between visibility and safety; legibility, and intellectual accessibility. Public Art reimagines public art as a departure from neoliberal propaganda and instead as a tool and resource for collective affirmation, liberation, and solidarity.

Public Art is presented across Gallery 3 and the courtyard.
