An 8 metre dragon skeleton will be brought to life by the team of View of Courage artists who will hand paint the dragon head and create it's skin by covering it in a collection of giant poms-poms, sequins, ruffles, fur, tassles and rope, all in a controlled colour palate of reds, pinks, oranges and yellows with black detailing. This is a very special opportunity to watch a creative process happen - a process often hidden behind the closed doors of the studio. At 6:30pm the dragon will become the moving centerpiece of a stunning 15 minute performance, featuring dancers and drummers, in an eruption of creativity and beauty.

View of Courage Studios boast an expansive portfolio of projects for such a young company, including live installation events, video art, fashion design, photography and illustration commissions

SPLINTER ORCHESTRA & PORTABLE CITY

Australian Network for Art and Technology (ANAT) embracing sound program (ESP) presents....
SPLINTER ORCHESTRA
"The Splinter Orchestra's music is like quicksand: it can suck you in, just as each of the 27 musicians relinquished his or her sense of self within this monumental improvising ensemble. Listening to it is like looking down on a jungle from above, with infinite layers of foilage making for an image without surface. Behind every sound lurks another sound, and then another..." John Sand, Sydney Morning Herald 2008

PORTABLE CITY
This artwork references Pop-up galleries and their transient nature. It questions the built environment, construction and the building industry. It asks the question can we make cities portable, with its comical take on a mobile city that can fit in suitcases and be taken anywhere. This installation piece is Artist Perran Costi.

Tully Arot's work focuses on the ephemeral, using immaterial forms to dictate solid spatial installations. Air, wind, light and ultimately darkness are embraced as a rejection of the concrete structures of designed space. Further in rejecting the designer/artist legacy he creates entropic forms whos fragility is often defined by the everyday materials used to create the work.
This moment in space and time will not last. Based on the idea that two lovers who are separated by the seas can look to the same star in the sky as a way of connecting spiritually when it is impossible to connect physically. His work, through it's size and form, removes the visual/physical connection between individual viewers. It utilises the collective consciousness of the spectacle.
