Ongoing Project: Larger Than Life Project

Larger Than Life is an online collaborative project appropriating an artwork from the Devonport Regional Gallery’s collection that was on display in the gallery’s recent acquisitions exhibition (closed Sunday 20th September 2020): Industrial Man painted by Tasmanian artist Gerald Makin.

The project is part of the Home is where the ‘art is online art activities from the Creative Space at the Gallery. It encourages a community of creators to collaborate on a communal art piece by contributing their piece to the whole. It aims to pay homage to an artwork from the gallery’s collection, to spend some time with it and to look at it thoroughly through its replication and appropriation.

Larger Than Life is open for everyone to participate in.

To take part, head into the Devonport Regional Gallery, collect your square (a piece of the artwork) to replicate and paper to do your enlargement on.
*some square also available from the Devonport Library

Return your completed enlargement piece to the gallery and revisit to see our “work in progress” replication enlarged to 5 times the actual size through to the completed project!
