Inhabit is a new Brisbane City Council program of public art and events that will transform forgotten and overlooked places throughout Brisbane’s CBD. During July and August, laneways, ‘pocket parks’ and concrete nooks around the city will be re-defined by innovative sculpture, design and events. It is part of the Brisbane Festival, and implements objectives of the CBD Masterplan about improving pedestrian environments.
“Escapespace” by Nicole Voevodin-Cash located at Eagle Lane (junction with Queen Street) is just one of the exciting works. This astroturf oasis creates an unexpected burst of colour, texture and usable space in an otherwise bitumen environment. It was only installed a few days ago but this playful space is already proving popular with nearby office workers. Enjoy this ‘park’ until August. (I hope it stays longer)
it looks really good, the artist is even in the picture, you don’t see that everyday. It works well as a chill out zone for stressed workers.
