SYDNEY .- Sydney-based artist Mike Hewson will transform the renowned Nelson Packer Tank at the Art Gallery of New South Wales into a wildly inventive art park in a new installation, Mike Hewson: The Key’s Under the Mat, opening on 4 October. Hewson invites guests to use the artwork as their own – ‘the key’s under the mat, make yourself at home’. Art Gallery of New South Wales director Maud Page said: ‘Mike Hewson is a disruptor, continually testing the edges of possibility and reimagining the Art Gallery as a site where boundaries dissolve and where art can unfold in ways once thought impossible in an art museum. Bringing the capacity to cook and share communal meals into the heart of the Art Gallery, this work exemplifies Hewson’s idea of the artist as a host who ‘sets the stage’ for others. The big picture is remarkable – this multifarious, wall-to-wall art park.
