Public Art Walk at Canberra Airport

The Canberra Airport provides a stimulating environment for travelers, with a group of commissioned sculptures by renowned artists, including Phil Price, Haruyuki Uchida and Andrew Rogers. This inspired DESIGN Canberra to invite its viewers to join Neil Hobbs in the Canberra Airport departures foyer at the Plastique Fantastique TWIN MINIGAGARIN installation for a guided Public Art Walk.

Neil shared his insights on the group of unique site-specific pieces at Canberra Airport and his perspective on the temporary inflatable structure, TWIN MINIGAGARIN by Plastique Fantastique.
