Sydney audiences always wait with bated breathe for the unveiling of the next Kaldor Public Art Project, which not only dramatically changes the city’s landscape temporarily – think of such projects as Jeff Koons’ Puppy (1995), Gregor Schneider’s intervention at Bondi Beach (2007), Jonathan Jones’ work in the Botanic Gardens (2016) and all the way back to Christo and Jeanne-Claude’s Wrapped Coastline (1969) – but have also significantly impacted the way we think about contemporary art practice, such as the live performance survey, 13 Rooms (2013) and groundbreaking works such as Gilbert & George (1973).
