Join us for the opening of Siteworks 2022: From a deep valley.
Siteworks 2022 considers the concept of the weather report, used to map both environmental and emotional spaces. Positioning the artist as a kind of weather balloon, it captures ‘weather reports’ from this place and time. In Dharawal the word Bundanon means deep valley.
OPENING: Speeches and Performances
CEO Rachel Kent, with Chair Samuel Edwards and the Bundanon Board, will officially open Siteworks 2022: From a deep valley
The opening will include an activation of Katie Paterson‘s work To Burn, Forest, Fire and performances by Nick Wales and friends, and Gadhungal Murring
PERFORMANCE
Banna Budjaang, Gadhungal Murring
This special smoking ceremony and dance performance by South Coast knowledge holders, Gadhungal Murring, shares the cultural significance of birds and animals and what they tell us about local ecosystems.
PERFORMANCE
Atmospheres, Nick Wales, Jason Noble, Veronique Serret and Bree van Reyk
Bask on the Bundanon lawns, and absorb the Shoalhaven River views that inspired Nick Wales’ ethereal new composition Cathedral. Wales, Jason Noble, Veronique Serret and Bree van Reyk join forces to perform a special set that takes its cues from Bundanon’s natural surrounds, forming a weather report from this time and place.
PERFORMANCE
To Burn, Forest, Fire, Katie Paterson
To Burn, Forest, Fire blends the scent of the first forest on our planet 385 million years ago, with the scent of the last forest on earth in the age of our climate crisis – the Amazon rainforest. Gather in the Museum Forecourt for an olfactory ceremony by Scottish artist Katie Paterson as we launch Siteworks 2022 together.
