Almost Always Everywhere Apparent at ACCA - references panopticon

As the recipients of the third annual Helen Macpherson Smith Commission, Leber and Chesworth created a large scale sound and structure project for the cavernous main exhibition space at Australian Centre for Contemporary Art.
Human voices resonated through a series of confined corridors leading to a central, cathedral-like space. The project referenced both Jeremy Bentham's Panopticon model prison design and the Cathedral as two architectural apparatuses with a surprising aspect in common: both rely on an unseen, all-seeing observer.
