Project 18 : Martin Boyce

ID
P18

Project Overview
For Project 18, Martin Boyce presented a group of sculptures, all developed from the same basic shapes, manipulated and reconfigured into different combinations. The crisp, linear forms of We are Shipwrecked and Landlocked collided with the nineteenth-century architecture of the adjacent Melbourne Gaol, creating an environment at once familiar and surreal.
We are Shipwrecked and Landlocked was Boyce’s largest and most ambitious work at the time. It was later gifted by Kaldor Public Art Projects and Boyce, with assistance from the Queensland Government and Arts Queensland, to the Queensland Art Gallery | Gallery of Modern Art, Brisbane.
