Art by Night-Concept


The Art by night concept motivated and mastered several aspects of expression, through unifying and melting individual artistic experience into a collaborative and evocative whole, with many other sources of inspiration and different human culture resources. The light collective artists group comes from diverse backgrounds. They have developed innovative strategies, sensitive to their individuality but successfully communicating to a broader audience. Although the works are very personal, each informed by a site- specific experience and influence, they also encourage a second level of interpretation that is larger, more universal and evocative. Their art concept becomes the vehicle through which to explore and learn about one another. In striking a balance between the personal and the transcendental, each artist forges a unique means of communication. This has to be celebrated as a positive forum of exchange. It is the relation between worlds, artists and audience, content and form, in which the artists in one night shaped, and innovatively explored their unlimited strategies of expression, which they chose to communicate.

reconnecting!

hello friends at artlightsound

I've been looking for an opportunity to visit you but maybe that won't happen now until next year. In the new year I'm hoping to set up a space in Townsville for people (multicultural backgrounds, refugees, people with disability, no barriers to whomever) to do things together using some of the techniques I've learned about, from you wonderful artists. So first up, Wanda! Can you email me a quick how to do it step by step approach to making lanterns using merino wool? Would you mind? Also I need to find out suppliers of materials.
As well as this the university wants a letter of support for my project so that can approve it ethically for research. First up though what I'll do is send you a letter that outlines what the project is and what its aims are. Basically it takes its inspiration form what you achieved in Mackay, bringing people from diverse backgrounds together with a range of skills, and then producing a work that the wider community can interact with. It doesn't have to be labelled 'art' but surely it will be that!

Please contact me if you want to talk further.

Cheers
Dave
