BRIGHTSPACE is ‘illuminated’ and this year we celebrate 10 years with a show about ‘optimism & light’. Featuring new works by BRIGHTSPACE artists and beyond; the entire space will be transformed into an ‘illuminated’ event.
A creative and vibrant gallery, St Kilda’s BRIGHTSPACE has been home to some of Melbourne’s most noted mid-career artists for the past decade. To celebrate our tenth anniversary we are proud to present ILLUMINATE: BRIGHTSPACE 10 YEARS – an exciting exhibition that not will showcase the history of this much loved gallery space.
Throughout the duration of the exhibition BRIGHTSPACE will be transformed into a feast for the senses with projections from the outside, illuminating the internal space of the building, by digital choreographer and visual artist Hellen Sky and unique window installations by renowned visual artist Peter Ferguson.
The show will feature a sculpture installation by father and son team Jason & Noah Hartcup, as well as a new collaborative work between award winning sculptor Lisa Roet and musician/sound artist Charlie. In addition, visual artist David H.Thomas is collaborating with 30 City of Port Phillip community members and delivering a collage workshop, which will be revealed at the opening.
The launch event and celebration will take place on Saturday August, 4 from 6-8pm and will be opened by Mirka Mora.
