What happens when artists are asked the questions usually addressed to planners and administrators

In Curating Sydney artists, architects, writers, designers and curators come together to reimagine the city.

Highly illustrated with visionary concept drawings and public artworks, Curating Sydney offers a new view on the future of the city one that draws on the inspiration of our best creators in art and design.
