Tunnel Vision, Greed and Stupidity: Reviewing Concrete Politics In Sydney

Date: 1 March 2006 - 25 March 2006
Place: The Cross Art Projects, 8 Llankelly Place, Kings Cross, Sydney, 2011, Australia
Description: An exhibition documenting how politicians, businessmen and public servants secretly carved up the inner-city road network in a calculated bid to force drivers into a private toll tunnel. The exhibition is about the venality of selling off public roads, wilfully restricting public transport, folly and lies and the howls of anger from gridlocked traffic. It’s a fast ride through public-private partnerships Sydney style.
