Bespoke City
4pm - 9pm, Friday 02 October,
cnr Greens Rd and Oxford St, Paddington.
On October 2, UNSW Galleries First Fridays is spilling out into the streets for the first time. Curated by Laura Fisher and Sabrina Sokalik, Bespoke City
is a one-night only art exhibition that invites audiences to reimagine
Sydney’s urban environment. The UNSW Art & Design courtyard and the
community outdoor space between Greens Road and Napier Street will be
filled with projections, unique installations, sculpture, video, kinetic
artworks, demonstrations and stalls. Many deploy the bicycle to
generate light, colour, sound and energy, while others treat it as a
metaphor for the city itself – reminding us that it can be deconstructed
and remade and that we are all implicated in the politics of public
space.
Works include:
An Electronic bicycle orchestra: We’ve commissioned bike-energy champions Milkcrate Events to
create a sound installation powered by five stationary bikes. Riders
can collaborate to fill the campus with an ambient and evolving sound
piece.
An Autonomous painting machine: Meet a robot-painter
created by artist Jeffrey Wood that tracks human movements to create
curious images reminiscent of the cosmos.
A Microbiology in the urban wild: Examine the city at the molecular level using a bike-powered laboratory created by BioFoundry: Australia’s first Citizen Scientist lab.
A Pedal powered light mural: Climb on and peel back
the layers of the city. UNSW Art & Design students Jonathon Bolitho
and Jobe Williams, UNSW Geological Sciences student Jeong Greaves, and
Mackenzie Nicks are creating an expansive mural illuminated by bicycle
powered LEDs, allowing riders to interact with the image through
modulations of light and colour.
You’ll also encounter works by UNSW Art & Design academic and
artist Richard Goodwin, UNSW A&D alumni Josh Harle, UNSW A&D PhD
student Maria White, ARTcycle, Janine Bailey, and James Gulliver
Hancock will be developing a mural with UNSW A&D students over the
week.
Don't miss amazing engineering and design from CreateUNSW +
Bike-ology, Hanley Weng, and Jamil Yamani. And a variety of
demonstrations and stalls will show off the best of Sydney’s cycling
culture.
And of course, as with all First Fridays, UNSW Galleries is open
until late so this is a fantastic opportunity to see the new
exhibitions People Like Us, Streets of Papunya and the John Fries Award 2015. On the night, Vivien Johnson's book Streets of Papunya: The reinvention of Papunya painting will be launched
by Punata Stockman Nungarrayi, Chairperson of Papunya Tjupi Arts. A
special performance from Tilau Nangala, Isobel Gorey Nambajimba, Isobel
Major Nampitjinpa and Punata Stockman Nungarrayi will accompany the
launch.
In partnership with Sydney Cycleways and the Heart Foundation, First Fridays: Bespoke City has
been supported by the City of Sydney through a community projects
matching grant and some invaluable sponsors: Bike Sydney, Stallion
Bikes, Colour Copy Centre, Reid Cycles and Arts Hotel. You can find out
more by visiting the Veleoscope website.
Outside of learning some of the cycling lingo and understanding the basics, I have a lot to learn about this aspect of the sport.
