The Rundle Project

WAX Design in collaboratrion with SPUD, Tanya Court and Naomi Horridge have been working with Adelaide City on an exciting new approach to the planning and implementation of public art within Rundle Street. The Rundle Project is based on the belief that the best artworks will emerge when artists and the artistic process is strongly supported Council.

The Rundle Project document in a graphic form delivers a typological public art framework for the street that clearly articulates a range of opportunities in both content, form and place. Six types of art are proposed each responding to the unique qualities of Rundle Street.

[1] Intervene (artisitcally changing the fabric of the Rundle Street)
[2] Engagement (performance and public interaction)
[3] Objects of Design (creation of high quality street furniture)
[4] Canvas (the Rundle Street as an outdoor gallery)
[5] Illuminate (innovative lighting response)
[6] Fusion (collaboration of artists and designer to create new outcomes)
