Mary-Anne Kyriakou was invited to create a work that would be part of the Festival of the Winds Festival program for September 9 2007.
The exhibition has two components where Bondi Pavilion has contributed the Flight component and the images explore the history of kites that include some images of past Festival of Winds events.
The Light and Sound component is by Mary-Anne Kyriakou and puts forward an urban landscape suggesting how Bondi may be transformed in two hundred years. This installation and work has been prepared specifically for the Bondi Pavilion gallery space.
The Light sculpture Bondi 2200 in Utopia 2007 is a series of Perspex cubes that represent futurist housing development in Bondi. The low energy LED lighting orbs inside the cube suggesting life form and also emotional space versus digital space. The installation consumes 80W of electrical energy and is controlled by a lighting program by Color Kinetics. Xenian Light are the major sponsor and supporter of this work.
The slide work titled Inside the cube 2007 is a series of 16 images produced in the lighting program AGI 32. This is a lighting tool used by the artist in her day to day work as a lighting designer for calculating and rendering lighting scenes. These images represent the emotion of how it may feel to live inside this styled development.
The music composition titled Take me somewhere else 2007 2min and 12seconds is produced in a music software program and the guitar and keys is written and performed by Mary-Anne Kyriakou. The music has elements that are based in current times as well as futurist sounds that support the notion of a futurist aural landscape.
The Exhibiton Opening is on Tuesday September 4, 2007 and there will be a violin performance and artist talk by Mary-Anne Kyriakou at 6:30pm.
Artist talks will be also held on Saturday September 8, 2007 at 11:00am and 1:45pm.
