Barangaroo, Sculpture at Barangaroo

"Horizon" was created by Lucy Humphrey in 2013 and was originally displayed on a cliff at Tamarama as part of "Sculpture by the Sea", an annual outdoor sculpture exhibition. This two-tonne acrylic sphere, filled with 1800 litres of water, reflects the images of Sydney Harbour and the Sydney Harbour Bridge, upside down. More art work can be seen in my previous two posts.

Barangaroo, Sculpture at Barangaroo

"Sculpture at Barangaroo" is a temporary exhibition from 6 August until 21 August 2016 in Barangaroo Reserve, in the inner city suburb of Barangaroo. "One Journey Ends: another begins...?" was created by Sally Kidall and has Sydney Harbour as a backdrop. Sitting under a transparent nylon fabric tent is a simple bamboo boat with two large oars. Lined with growing grass, it carries a cargo of plastic bags filled with water. The fact that the grass may grow – or die – during the exhibition is key to the artwork’s concept and speaks to the troubled world we live in.

The two pieces in this work are part of series exploring our vanishing relationship with nature, shelter and community. Each work resembles a pod, fruit, dwelling or tree with branches and antlers extending from the top.

Barangaroo House

Barangaroo House is located along Barangaroo Avenue in the inner city suburb of Barangaroo. This three level entertainment venue with harbour views was designed by Collins and Turner. The balconies are clad in concentric timber dowels, charred using the traditional Japanese Shou Sugi Ban technique which creates a dark finish that enhances weatherproof properties so it requires little maintenance. The planters integrated into the curved plan are used to grow ornamental and edible plants for use in the restaurants. House Bar is a casual bar and restaurant on the ground floor. Rekōdo Restaurant and Vinyl Bar which are a nod to Japanese listening rooms are on the first floor and Smoke is a cocktail bar at the top.

Barangaroo Reserve, path

Following the path around Barangaroo Reserve, in the inner city suburb of Barangaroo. This was once the site of a concrete industrial container terminal which has been transformed into a foreshore park, with sandstone blocks used to build a naturalistic headland and terraces, landscaped with native trees and shrubs. The sandstone used at Barangaroo Reserve was extracted from beneath, in what is now The Cutaway, the reserve's large cultural space. The Sydney skyline can be seen in the distance.

Barangaroo, Darling Harbour

A boat heading into Darling Harbour from Sydney Harbour, makes its way past Barangaroo. This view is from Pyrmont, which would have had spectacular views of the fireworks last night for New Year's Eve celebrations, projected from the Sydney Harbour Bridge and barges on Sydney Harbour. This was also one of the last chances to view the northern end of Barangaroo before construction begins to redevelop the site, which has already begun at the southern end.
