Just announced: Argentine-Peruvian artist Adrián Villar Rojas is the inaugural artist commissioned for our underground gallery known as the Tank, located on the lowest level of our new building. Villar Rojas’ 'The End of Imagination' will take over the 2,200sqm former oil tank, now a spectacular exhibition space. Known for his vast, collaboratively made, site-specific installations for spaces including The Met’s rooftop, this work is the culmination of an engagement that began in 2018 when the artist first descended into the disused space. The artist, currently based in his hometown Rosario, said: ‘The project that has grown in the four years following is the product of many hands, many minds, many conversations, many questions, and many mediums including the virtual and physical. And one of the most important mediums has been time – the time to dwell in a space, to talk with everyone from archivists to Indigenous curators to conservators, to push ideas and technologies, and to draw into the project the conditions of a world that has changed massively.' We can't wait until you can experience this installation for yourself from 3 December this year! __ The Adrián Villar Rojas installation 'The End of Imagination' is proudly supported by the NSW Government through its tourism and major events agency, Destination NSW Images: Artist Adrián Villar Rojas during a visit to the Tank space in the new building at the Art Gallery of New South Wales, photo © AGNSW, Mim Stirling @sydney #ILoveSydney #FeelNewSydney
