This project provided a creative exploration of Geelong’s industrial identity, and a collaborative interface between architecture, art and community. Its intent was to focus artistic processes on the re-activation of memory and erasure as an interval or pause in the current challenges to industry. Through the work of several artists (Sarah Duyshart, Robert Mihajlovski, Bindi Cole Chocka, Merinda Kelly, Amanda Shone and Alex Hamilton) and a team of Architecture- and Creative Arts-based Deakin University researchers and students, Iconic Industry powerfully evokes the sounds, views, atmosphere and memories of Geelong’s industrial legacy. Iconic Industry is a part of the #VacantGeelong project concentrating on the buildings and sites of Geelong’s current de-industrialisation, the thousands of acres of land and often overlooked beauty of its industrial buildings.
