Art With Altitude

28 August 2012

During the Art With Altitude Festival in Brisbane Airport it’s been great seeing not quite an art crowd enjoying works, Gigloo is outside Woolies and the kids are going nuts for Lucas’ Mixtape inside – who would have thought an experimental noise installation would have been such a hit with kids, then again it does involve helium balloons inside an inflatable…

Living Under The Stars, or LUTS for short, is the new work I made for AWA, commissioned by Urban Art Projects through Megan Cope who is an amazing artist (and co-curator of AWA along with Natasha Smith from UAP).

LUTS is an inflatable planetarium – it’s been awesome watching everyone from suits to families crawl into the inflatable to lie down and watch the stars twinkle inside. There’s over 300 led ‘stars’ sewn into the structure. I must say I really enjoy lying in there and watching the constellations light up…
