Inside the Grollo Equiset Garden at Melbourne’s National Gallery of Victoria (NGV) sits the “Temple of Boom”, a recreation of and tribute to the Parthenon on the Acropolis in Athens with a modern and whimsical twist. The work created by Australian architects Adam Newman and Kelvin Tsang is part of the NGV’s annual Architecture Commission series, which invites Australian architects to create site-specific work in the gallery’s garden. The eye-catching installation transports audiences back to Ancient Greece while inviting them to consider the effect of time on architecture, as the structure will gradually transform with murals and other artworks from local artists, having started in November 2022 and continuing through August 2023. Built as an homage to the Greek Goddess Athena in the fifth century BCE, the Parthenon has changed use and form over generations, being used as a temple, a church, and a mosque. With the Parthenon once considered an apex symbol of Western civilization, “Temple of Boom” invites viewers to consider physical structural transformations with those societal transformations which exist more in the abstract and posits reimagination and beauty as constants.
