Antractica helped to curate an art installation at the disused Rembrandt’s Reception Centre in Wantirna South. This 1973 function centre has lost its function, but the tables remain set and dusted a year after the last event, it has not been left to rot. 9 architects and artists responded to these embalmed spaces and the resulting exhibition was the last to be held in the dutch-themed centre, which had over the years become a defacto centre of the local community.

Antarctica’s installation was based on a tablecloth in the pristine Gainsborough Room. This diamond-shaped cloth has been reinterpreted in gleaming white 6mm MDF and inserted out of context and out of scale in the main kitchen, removing the function from the utilitarian room.
