オイルタンク跡地の美術展

9月9日（水）快晴

スクラップ・アンド・ビルドの日米と違い、欧州や豪州は歴史的・伝統的な建物を簡単に取り壊しません。シドニーにも羊毛倉庫、発電所、刑務所、裁判所、郵便局などの跡地を利用した博物館や音楽堂などが多数ありました。ケアンズのオイルタンク跡地でも３つの巨大なタンクが、展示・ダンス・音楽などの会場に再利用されています。ケアンズ祭りでも高校生の絵画・オブジェの展示。多民族国家なので多様な表現が見られ、時には驚くような斬新な絵に遭遇します。

Art exhibition in old oil tanks

Wed. September 9 : fine

Being different from Japanese or American scrap-and-build way, Europeans and Australians don’t easily demolish historical or traditional buildings. There are a lot of museums and concert halls that were renovated into from old wool shed, power house, jail, court house or post office in Sydney. Three huge tanks of the old oil tanks are being reused as the sites for exhibition, dance, music or others. Some paintings and sculptures done by high school students are displayed there during Cairns Festival. As Australia is the multinational country there are various ways of expressions and sometimes I am surprised at some novel paintings.
