The scenes depicted in Mernet Larsen’s paintings appear familiar, at times even mundane: doing yard work; sitting in a staff meeting; waiting on a subway platform. Yet running through these representations of daily modern life is a distorted sense of reality that suddenly leaves one struggling to find footing within these worlds.

We are very sorry to hear that the fight to save Sirius seems to have come to an end. Yesterday the Australian Minister for the Environment and Heritage declined heritage listing and thereby greenlighted its demolition. In his release the sentence “This doesn’t mean a practice that money trumps heritage” seems particularily odd, since this seems to be the exact reasoning behind the decision. Nevertheless we’d like to thank the Millers Point Community for all their efforts on preserving Sirius and standing in for its longtime residents. Even if the campaign wasn’t successful in the end it still helped raise awareness towards Brutalism. By putting the idea that there might be something worth saving here in people’s mind they have greatly helped other cases in their fight.
