An evocative reimagining of The Parthenon on the Acropolis in Athens, Adam Newman and Kelvin Tsang’s Temple of Boom is the NGV Architecture Commission for 2022. The Architecture Commission is an annual series that invites Australian architects to create a work of site-specific, ephemeral architecture for the NGV Garden.
The likeness of The Parthenon will be painted with overlapping large-scale artworks by Melbourne-based artists, imbuing the ancient monument with further layers of meaning and drawing inspiration from the vibrant colours and artistic embellishments that defined the original building over two-thousand years ago. Temple of Boom reflects the slow yet unstoppable processes of change that transform all cultural, geological and ecological systems.
Temple of Boom is envisioned as a meeting place for the community and an outdoor venue for a diverse program of NGV-curated performances, programs and live music across the summer period.
