Tape Melbourne
I am rather excited about a huge public artwork currently being installed at Federation Square, Melbourne. The Fed Sq website explains it best;
“Like a giant spider weaving a web or a silk worm at work, the tendons of this two-metre high structure made entirely of packing tape extends over Fed Square.
Created by revolutionary Viennese/Croatian design mavens Numen/For Use, Tape Melbourne is a temporary work made entirely of regular packing tape, a self extinguishing tape and multiple layers of the transparent adhesive.”
When: 24 hours 4 Sept – 24 Sept
Where: Western Terrace, Federation Square, Corner Swanston + Flinders Streets, Melbourne
Price: Free
Gob Squab
ACMI (Australian Centre for the Moving Image) will be hosting the Gob Squab collective, for looks like a pretty fun night.
“Armed with four video cameras and filming in real time, the members of the Squad will hit the streets an hour before each session, and create a feature film using passers-by as the cast. Each member of this German troupe performs a different role in the production, dispersing to a variety of locations around Melbourne’s CBD to record their contribution. They appropriate whatever people and objects stray into their path, disrupting the nightly flow of the city and striving to make the ordinary extraordinary.
Returning to the cinema, the team turn over their tapes, which are played back simultaneously on a partitioned screen, each story overlapping with astounding precision. Seemingly random moments come together in a hilarious, intimate and revealing narrative; shaped by chance, by innocent bystanders, by our own city streets. The result is simply amazing.”

OBI: concept
No commentsThrough the use of installation and immersive experience, you are guided through a series of rooms.
You are given a warm, enjoyable experience in a dementia-ridden world confused by what is real, fact, commonsense and by what is fantasy, imaginings and desire.
Somewhere in this transient space, you may begin to realise who Olsen is.

OBI: week three rehearsals
Learning to waltz, costuming shopping, live music, meetings, browsing for props, discussions, projection, aquarium, scenes, research, autumn, OLSEN.
