Midland Heritage Precinct Courtyard Public Art Project
Commissioned by the City of Swan, the Midland Atelier - led by renowned Australian designer Jon Goulder and emerging designer Alex Fossilo - is designing and producing a sculptural benchseat and wall installation to bring visual dynamism and encourage greater interaction with an important public space in Midland’s town centre.
The proposed site for the commission is in the newly redeveloped Midland Heritage Precinct courtyard, located between Helena Street and the Old Great Northern Highway. The precinct comprises the old Midland Courthouse, which is an integral building in the historical heart of Midland, and the old Water Supply Office. These buildings have been restored and are adjacent to the Midland Public Library, the space in between the buildings consists of hard landscape.
This project presents an exciting opportunity to bring design excellence to this central and revitalising area of the town centre, and enhance the experience of the area for local residents and visitors.
