Australia's most dramatic exhibition space is completely transformed as artist Mike Hewson brings his unique social sculpture practice to the Nelson Packer Tank. Hewson has reimagined the Tank as a combined park, playground, construction site, and commons – an anarchic and generous sculptural neighbourhood where visitors can meet, dwell, play, make, perform, and more. Free to all and made for all ages, this one-of-a-kind project was constructed from thousands of salvaged objects and materials. Hewson's practice, catalysed by the Christchurch earthquakes, positions the artist as a host who welcomes guests to use the artwork as their own. The project is an experiment in participation, an act of reclamation and regeneration, and a provocation about what a truly welcoming art museum might look like.
