There’s a
hub of Festival activity at the University in January. Here are a few
highlights.
Art comes
face-to-face with architecture in Vision in Motion, a project by the renowned
artist Narelle Jubelin, which celebrates the University’s significant – though
often overlooked – modernist architecture.
Visitors
are invited to take a ‘modernist walk’ across the campus, visiting key sites
animated with temporary installations and videos, inspired by architecture and
the built environment.
Australia’s
most promising young architectural minds were challenged to design new
performance spaces for three Sydney Festival venues: Festival Garden in Hyde
Park, the massive Turbine Hall on Cockatoo Island and the historic Quadrangle
at the University of Sydney.
Youtopia is
an exhibition of the models, prototypes and digital designs from our Master of
Architecture students, capturing 30 outrageously theatrical visions and it’s
all at the Tin Sheds Gallery, on City Rd.
And don’t
miss Bright Club, where our academics try standup comedy in the Famous
Spiegeltent’s late night slot. See a line-up of lecturers, researchers and
PhD-types from the University as they mine their area of specialty for comic
potential. Be kind to them, they’re new to all this! This is truly the thinking
person’s variety night.
