REEF Installation

Sydney School of Architecture, Design & Planning

Reef, an ongoing experimental drawing installation exploring abstract possibilities in the open sketch

Tin Sheds Gallery

Please join the <a href="http://sydney.edu.au/architecture" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">University of Sydney School of Architecture, Design and Planning</a>, for the exhibition opening of Reef, next Thurs 5 March.  Reef is an experimental drawing installation that exists simultaneously in three overlapping dimensions: material space, virtual space and sound space. It is a sketch of a small section of sea bed in Kaikōura, Aotearoa New Zealand. The Kaikōura reef is the visible part of a vast landscape that drops several kilometres below the sea’s surface and connects to an extensive canyon system that marks the junction of the Pacific and Australian tectonic plates. Vast forces were released in the 2016 Kaikōura earthquake causing the submarine landscape to jolt upwards, and with it the reef.This project attempts to capture the ambiguous scale and strange presence of this landscape, through cast concrete miniature sketches, sound sketches and sketches in VR and AR. Visitors to the gallery are immersed in a single spatial sketch that flows through the space, composed of an array of smaller sketch objects. These are like grains in a rapidly sketched mark and morph from castings of rock surfaces to gestural concrete sketches to 3D printed interpretations. The reading of these is augmented by soundscapes and images from a virtual sketch environment, creating a multi-sensory sketch that surrounds the participant.Reef is part of ongoing research into experimental architectural drawing exploring abstract possibilities in the open sketch. The work is an interdisciplinary collaboration between Simon Twose, Anastasia Globa, Jules Moloney and Lawrence Harvey.EVENT DETAILS:Thurs 5 March, 6pm - 8pmTin Sheds Gallery, Wilkinson Building,148 City Rd, Darlington 2006EXHIBITION DATES:5 March (opening evening) to 1 May.The Tin Sheds Gallery is open Tues - Fri, 10am to 5pm.
