Book Launch: Neglected Dimensions – Rough Sketches for Public Space

Event Details

The Greek Centre hosts Neglected Dimensions: Rough Sketches for Public Space, a live book launch celebrating the creative collaboration between two of Australia’s leading creators, writer and artist Paul Carter and designer John Warwicker.

This experiential launch unfolds directly from the pages of the book, animating its drawings and inscriptions through live sound and imagery. It highlights the relationship between writing and drawing — how words and lines move together to shape meaning and space — creating an immersive experience where art and design meet.

Hosted by Nikos Papastergiadis, this launch builds on Carter’s internationally recognised work in spatial history, material thinking and public art, extending his exploration of how public space is made, shared and reimagined.

Through Neglected Dimensions, Carter and Warwicker invite audiences to consider public space as something constantly in motion — a choreography of ideas, encounters and designs that reveal the unseen forces shaping how we connect. The book’s intricate drawings and layered design create what Carter describes as a “textual colloid,” where writing and drawing dissolve into each other to form new ways of seeing.

Copies of Neglected Dimensions will be available for purchase and signing on the night.
