Melbourne artist Rone : Empire

25/2/2019

ABANDONED MANSION transformed into
​'Empire' a magnificent work of art 

Local Melbourne artist RONE does it again, transforming a derelict Manson into a MUST SEE work of art!
Picture
Left vacant for more than 20 years, a sprawling 1930s mansion sits neglected, in a state of ruin.
Questions hang heavy in its dense silence, each room strewn with the dusty remains of
a collapsed empire and hints of romance past. Here, not much is certain but it’s clear that
any signs of life have long since departed.

Following the success his 2017 outing,The Omega Project — which saw a condemned family
home in suburban Alphington recast, fleetingly, as a gallery and installation piece before being
demolished — internationally renowned Australian artist Rone announces his largest and most
ambitious project yet: Empire, set amongst the decaying glory of a once-magnificent manor in Melbourne’s Dandenong Ranges.

Part exhibition, part installation, part VR and AR experience, Empire combines art, vision, sound, light, botanical design and scent to take audiences on a hauntingly immersive multi-sensory journey into a reimagined past of a faded icon.

Featuring extensive Deco-era styling from interior stylist Carly Spooner (The Establishment Studios,The Omega Project) across 12 of the estate’s otherwise empty spaces, the experience has been meticulously curated to evoke a distinct series of moods as audiences move from room to room.

Thematically linked to the seasons, rooms have been furnished with over 500 individual
antique pieces, which Spooner and Rone painstakingly sourced over a series of months.
Included is a grand piano that, for several weeks, was left to the elements in the mansion’s
garden to achieve its aged patina before being transplanted back into the house — moss,
leaves and all.

We made the trip out to The Dandenong Ranges to witness Rone’s magnificent and immersive Empire during a community sneak preview .
It’s a project in grand scale that we recommend needs to be seen in person!
