The Fringe Digital Program at ICE in Parramatta will feature an eclectic, culturally diverse group of artists including Therese Sweeney with "Pioneers" (pictured) - A series of 35mm black and white stills will be projected, featuring twelve subjects representing the market gardening fringes of south west Sydney in the Leppington & Austral region. Cindy Rodriguez with "Life in Motion: Tango". Of the work, Cindy has this to say: "The film is an 8 minute piece of my grandmother who is 87 years old, trying to recall the lyrics to the Tango piece "El Caminitio" sung in Spanish with English subtitles - It's a beautiful portrait of her singing and dancing".
ICE is located at 8 Victoria Rd, Parramatta, 2150 - part of the Switch Digital Arts Centre.
Fringe Arts at Carriageworks: Immerse will feature the digital artwork "Library" by Irish artist Adrian O'Connell. Fringe Arts at the Seymour Centre: Connect, meanwhile, will feature celebrated works from acclaimed local artist Scott Morrison including "A Song Around, Between and Through" (2010).
Tasmanian artist Kate McCarthy's piece "Sunday Self Portrait" will be on display throughout the festival in the window of LoveGrub (pictured above). Of the piece, Kate says: "The work is a film of a gorgeously overdressed toy with sounds of people enjoying fireworks. The toy is adorned with trinkets of the eighties and craft pieces. It is a self portrait of my childhood with the sound of fireworks representing the hovering fear of my world falling apart."
On Opening Night, the digital artists of the Fringe will be taking over the HUB and streets of Newtown with works from Cindy Rodriguez, Adrian O'Connell, Latai Taumoepea and more, with displays in Better Read Than Dead, Sole Wine and Coffee Bar and more.
One of the highlights of the digital component of opening night will be Ken Simpson's piece "Ethereal Nightscapes".
Ken has this to say of the work: "Using the city as a canvas, I am intrigued by the effect a textured surface can have on video projection, distorting and adding unplanned elements to the artwork. My work is inspired by the patterns that nature creates, especially in the urban wastelands and suburban areas which create hard textures ready for the interplay of wind, light and shade. These artworks are then re-projected onto a surface creating further interplay and distortion depending on that surface."
Keep your eyes on the HUB for this unique work.
