Botanica
10 May 2019 | Live performance
City Botanic Gardens as part of Botanica by Night | Brisbane, QLD
Curated by UAP (Urban Art Projects) Botanica 2019 was a signature event of the Museum of Brisbane's inaugural Brisbane Art Design (BAD) festival.
Creating live performance drawings from a responsive exchange between line, sound and movement Kellie O’Dempsey opened Brisbane’s annual 2019 contemporary art outside event Botanica. In drawing and animating live lines of light across the surface of the gardens, O'Dempsey simulated the energy of molecules vibrating and growing under the surface of the trees. Employing analogue and digital drawing techniques, Kellie navigated the physical space with line. The performance is the act of drawing and the experience of time that results in a mesmerising state of becoming.
Botanica exhibition is a unique, site-specific art exhibition that has been curated in a contemporary style. Set within Queensland’s heritage garden, providing a complex historical backdrop, the City Botanic Gardens acts as a living museum. Botanica was a signature event of the Museum of Brisbane's inauguralBrisbane Art Design (BAD) festival.
