在墨尔本CBD的中心地带,Coulter的“空间解构#23(韧性)”受地铁隧道委托,于2021年至2022年在墨尔本城市广场声学棚位置进行设计。
Emma Coulter通过对建筑立面的绘画干预,通过一个高度竞争的过程,创造了一个独特的特定于场地的作品,延伸了她自2014年初以来一直在做的一系列空间解构作品。
这一公共领域的作品旨在反映全球大流行期间墨尔本历史上这一危机时期的社会背景。从2020年3月到2021年10月,据说墨尔本是世界上被封锁最严密的城市。
通过高度彩色、弯曲的几何序列贯穿整个城市街区,艺术家的作品旨在为墨尔本多样化的社区提供一种韧性和希望的姿态。它经常被作为新闻的背景,每天的新冠病毒数量都是墨尔本历史上这一独特时期的页面持有人。

In the heart of Melbourne’s CBD, Coulter’s ‘spatial deconstruction #23 (resilience)’, was commissioned by the Metro Tunnel for its’ Melbourne, City Square acoustic shed location, from 2021 to 2022.
Through a painted intervention on the building facade, awarded through a highly competitive process, Emma Coulter, created a unique site specific work, extending upon her series of spatial deconstruction works that she has been making since early 2014.
The site-specific work, aimed to reflect the social context of this time of crisis in Melbourne’s’ history, during the global pandemic. A time from March, 2020, to October, 2021, when Melbourne is said to have been the most locked down city in the world.
Through highly chromatic, warped, geometric sequences that traverse a whole city block, the work was intended by the artist, as a gesture of resilience and hope, for Melbourne’s diverse communities. It was often featured as a backdrop to the news, and daily covid counts, acting as a page holder for this unique period in Melbourne’s history.
