BLINDSIDE Satellite
BLINDSIDE is thrilled to announce the launch of BLINDSIDE Satellite, a new screen based, public art project that exists across multiple locations simultaneously. The project examines notions of the public space, specifically the public square, and what it means for art to occupy these spaces and connect physically disparate audiences through a collective experience.
Launching Wednesday 1st August — screening 6.30 sharp at Federation Square, followed by Art Party at BLINDSIDE.
As an expansion of PLAY² which was screened at Federation Square, BLINDSIDE Satellite can be now be viewed in Federation Square, Melbourne; Bunjil Place, Narre Warren; Harmony Square, Dandenong; Liverpool, Sydney; and Fairfield, Sydney with more screens to be added across Australia in the coming months.
For the launch of BLINDSIDE Satellite, and to coincide with Melbourne Art Week and MEL&NYC Festival: Making Spaces, BLINDSIDE will present Blue and Red (2014) by Chinese artist Zhou Tao.
