University of Sydney | Art and Architecture on site and non-site

The objective of the Curatorial Practice Intensive ‘Art and Architecture on site and non-site’ is to investigate the relationship between architecture and art in institutional and non-institutional spaces. According to the artist Robert Smithson the non-site represents an actual site. While art in a gallery often presents itself on site, architecture is mostly represented though models, drawings, photographs, and diagrams off site.
