…in our dreams: ArtWranglers is pleased to announce that the internationally renowned architects Frank and Samuel Gehry have been nominated for the inaugural ArtWranglers Virtual Solutions Award for the imaginative transposition of the fabulous Serpentine Gallery Pavilion into the dead centre of Canberra. Under the inspired direction of Julia Peyton-Jones, each year the Serpentine Gallery in London commissions a significant artist or architect to produce a temporary structure for the gallery forecourt for the summer season – look at the list – and imagine what could happen here! We wish! If only! Lift your sights, Chief Minister! The ACT could do worse than sending someone (us?) to find out how it’s done…
And see pix of the model here.

[...] Pavilions are available for sale. It looks to me that this is where the Gehry pavilion ended up. Here’s where it could have been. Be warned. Iconophilia will never give up! See the slide show on designboom, and weep. Print, [...]
