Assembled Lines / Fordtown

19 OCT—30 NOV ‘24 Platform Arts presents two correlative exhibitions, each a renewed exploration into the manufacturing history of Geelong. In Assembled Lines, sculptural interventionist Robbie Rowlands defines the point at which an object’s functionality is challenged and its history comes into focus, redefining abandoned Ford factory equipment. 

Kaitlyn Church’s Fordtown is a documentary project exploring the impact of Ford’s demise on the Geelong community through the stories of individual workers.
