Australian House Design Echigo-Tsumari

Bark is very excited to be participating in an architecture competition inviting Australian architects to design a new gallery and exhibition space for Australian art, to be used for the Echigo-Tsumari Art Triennale 2012 in Japan.

‘Australia House’ is used for art installations during the contemporary international arts festival, which takes place every three years in the mountainous Echigo-Tsumari region of Niigata Prefecture. The house will provide space for Australian artists to live, work and present their artworks, whilst serving as a venue for joint projects between Australia and Japan.

Bark participated in a site inspection tour in July to get a feel for the environment and landscape of the project in order to prepare Bark’s application.
