COMMUNITY NOTICES

COME TOGETHER AND TAKE NOTICE

Community Notices is a new work-in-development and temporary art installation at Schuster Park, Tallebudgera on Yugambeh Country.

The site for Community Notices in Schuster Park in Tallebudgera, provides an opportunity to explore the current complexities of living on the edge of climate change, at a peak point of urbanisation, and the role our communities, arts and science have to play in redirecting our visions and actions for the future. Natural and urban sites co-exist simultaneously, we are a part of complex ecosystems all the time. Via activations, experiments and interventions, Community Notices interrogates people’s relationships in the places in which they inhabit and the emergence of connections and disconnections.

These site-specific activations explore layers of history, layers of built and natural environments, as well as modalities for audience experiences in situ. Alongside a custom built community noticeboard, Community Notices brings together a gathering of community members and collaborators in a series of experiences, events, conversations and interactions facilitated by the artist on site - to come together and take notice.

Community Notices encompassed an online space (www.communitynotices.com.au) as a conduit for communications beyond the park setting, where people can book into events, explore additional information and digital artworks.

We live here on the Gold Coast because of its beautiful natural spaces. But, how often are we listening to these natural spaces that we say we value so much?

This project is supported by GENERATE GC, which is a City of Gold Coast initiative delivered in partnership with Tasdance and SITUATE Art in Festivals. This project supports the outcomes of City of Gold Coast’s Our Natural City Strategy - connecting people with nature, protecting places for nature, and partnering with the community.
