UTS Art Projects

UTS regularly seeks to undertake art projects that extend opportunities for working with artists as creative collaborators. Past commissioned projects include Richard Goodwin's sculptural installation for the 1997 re-development of the UTS Law Faculty. Built into the external wall of the Moot Court in Quay Street. The installation features concrete panels with carved text (Articles 26 & 27 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights) and two glass and stainless steel tanks holding historic lawyers wigs and gowns preserved in nitrogen gas.

Past

Another major touring exhibition was Cinderella's Gems: Art and the Intellectual Mission. Developed and managed by UTS collaboratively with UNSW, the exhibition drew from the rich holdings of university Art Collections throughout New South Wales & ACT and toured regional Australia in 1999 and 2000.

Current

The Leonardo da Vinci: Models of Genius exhibition is currently being prepared to go on permanent display within the University city campus after extensive regional and national touring. Other projects include the commissioned work 'Litmus' by Ari Purhonen and Janet Laurence's installation work based on the 'Anatomy Lesson of Dr Nicholas Tulp' by Rembrandt to be housed in the Science Building.
