With a focus on preserving historic elements, the revitalized park will retain the Edwardian Garden, the 1912 Carnegie library setting, the cenotaph plaza, flagpole and commemorative monuments. New elements will include a garden café, a parks office building, festival and events space, and outdoor reading rooms.

| May 16 to June 21 - Stride Gallery Main Space: Lynda Gammon "Interval" |
|
|
|
 |
|
Randomly selected images (taken from the cardboard boxes which contain this ever expanding archive), are glued next to one another, layered one on another, folded, refolded, taped and glued together. Combined with retrieved construction site and household refuse, a fragile assemblage is barnacled to the gallery wall. Taken apart and re-built, edited and re-edited, spaces begin to construct themselves, doors open from one room to another. Existing only for the duration of the exhibition the assemblage is then broken apart in the process of removal, its parts returning to the archive as material for future works within this series of ongoing works called SALVAGED.
