Project 3 Chosen Artist

Amanda Marburg
I decided to showcase the work of Amanda Marburg in my Newtown Gallery. The way this artist produces her work was very interesting to me. Her design process has three distinctive stages and I thought that these stages could dictate the spatial sequence of my gallery.

Stage 1: Small plasticine sculptures (Ground floor)
Stage 2: Photographs of these sculptures (Level 1)
Stage 3: Paintings of these photographs (Level 2)

Project 3 Newtown Site

293 King Street
I chose this site because it had a number of features that interested me:

1. The facade of the building to the left of the site did not meet its neighbouring building facades. Instead the space in front of it had taken the role of a public meeting area. This also meant that there was an opportunity to have a side entrance for my gallery instead of a street front entrance.

2. The back of the site was very open as the buildings next to it did not occupy their entire sites. This gave the opportunity for side entry from the back lane to the site.
