On 17 September 1879 the Sydney International Exhibition opened in the newly built Garden Palace in the botanic gardens. While the exhibition made an impact upon Sydneysiders and our city landscape, it all went up in smoke just a few years later. These dramatic episodes in Sydney’s history is being explored by Wiradjuri/Kamilaroi artist Jonathan Jones in his installation work barrangal dyara (skin and bones) [from the local Sydney Gadigal language]. This sculptural installation is being presented by Kaldor Public Art Projects as a major contribution to the 200 years of the botanic gardens.
