Your weekend starts here: UQ Art Museum's Loud Art: After Hours! In conjunction with our exhibition Music of Spheres, join us for an evening of art, music, performance, refreshments, and a journey through the mysteries of the cosmos... .
6:10pm Respire, Respire performance (20 mins)
As part of Mel O'Callaghan's exhibition Centre of the Centre, performers will activate large-scale glass sculptures that amplify their unified breath, allowing them to enter into altered states of consciousness. Accompanied by the pipe organ, this raw and intimate experience is both cathartic and vulnerable for performer and viewer.
6:40pm Plant and Moon Music performance (45 mins)
Artist Dylan Martorell will present a floor talk on his artistic approach to producing the graphic score Moon Music parts 5, 7 and 9 (Pluto / Uranus / Jupiter) 2020, a new commission for UQ Art Museum's exhibition Music of Spheres. This will be followed by a live electronic performance exploring the Pythagorean concept through sound.
