Constellation 3: Extra/Ordinary Cities: The Cultural Dynamics of Urban Intervention
Venue: Bach Dang Restaurant, Canley Vale

Extra/Ordinary Cities is a dynamic forum examining the relationship between art, politics and the built environment in Asia and Australia.
Traveling from Sydney’s eastern suburbs to the city's southwest, this day-long event centered at the Bach Dang Vietnamese Restaurant in Canley Vale/Cabramatta brings together leading international artists from the 2008 Biennale of Sydney and the Concrete Culture exhibition plus architects and writers for a series of presentations and discussion panels. The day will culminate with a reception at the Concrete Culture exhibition at the Ivan Dougherty Gallery. The forum explores complex crossings, transformations and challenges in relation to urban landscapes and a series of urban interventions by artists. Bookings are essential. The forum cover charge will be $25.00, which includes lunch, tea & coffee at the Bach Dang Restaurant. For those making their own way to this event, the forum begins at 10:30am at the Bach Dang Restaurant, with closing drinks/viewing of Concrete Culture at Ivan Dougherty Gallery at 5:45pm.
There will also be a limited number of 60 tickets on offer that include a transfer by bus & additional on-board events. The bus trip will involve an extra transport cost of $10, bringing the total cost to $35.00. The bus leaves at 9.20 from the Ivan Dougherty Gallery and 9.30am from the Biennale of Sydney office at Woolloomooloo, and returns for drinks at 5.45pm.
