Drawing on Van Alen Institute’s multi-year exploration of the theme Elsewhere: Escape and the Urban Landscape and its recent series of public programs about ‘hangouts’ in New York City, This Public Space asks student participants to consider: why do we seek escape from the city, and what forms of escape can we find within the urban environment?
The exhibition will include a shortlist of entries submitted into the competition from students across Australia and New Zealand.
Competition facilitated by AILA and the Van Alen Institute, with the support of The University of Western Australia, University of Technology Sydney, Victoria University
Wellington, RMIT University, The University of Adelaide, University of New South Wales, The University of Melbourne, Queensland University of Technology, University of Canberra.
