Kay Rosen's exhibition, Map of the World, is underway at the Art Gallery of New South Wales in Sydney's Royal Botanic Gardens. The exhibition includes two large scale wall pieces.
The Gallery’s entrance court is its most public space, traversed by hundreds of viewers every day. But whose space is it? Is it ours or is it yours?
