Melbourne-based artist Rose Nolan says the piece ‘isn’t an English class, it’s about the rhythm of the words’
Standing underneath a new text-based artwork on the roof of Sydney’s Central Station, a commuter cranes his neck.“Wait, what does it say?” he asks.
The work is by the Melbourne-based artist Rose Nolan and forms part of Sydney Metro’s upgrade at Central station, which saw the opening of an underground concourse on Monday. Most people Guardian Australia spoke to on Thursday as they strode by beneath the work said they hadn’t yet noticed it, or had only caught a few words in their race to their platform.
But a main sore spot for a number of people has been the grammar. After Sydney Metro’s announcement of the new work, it drew the ire of a number of people online.
