About
Kristina Bradt will create a visual soundscape of the daily activity of the Tansley Woods Community Centre. This is created by taking a series of field recordings of the space, capturing any activities, events, people, and sounds that move through the space, sometimes going unnoticed until brought to our attention. The sound waves are then converted into a visual representation that makes them look like interesting digital paintings and will be projected on a wall or floor in the facility. Visitors to the community centre will be confronted with large-scale projection(s) that feature bright, abstracted works that have a contemporary feel to them and bring a sense of wonder and curiosity directly inspired by those who inhabit it.
Description: Seven temporary art installations that will be unveiled as part of the Burlington’s Culture Days event and will be exhibited for one-month through Oct. 25, 2019. The concept for the Public Art Lab was developed as part of an artist residency conducted by Lisa Hirmer in 2017. Hirmer’s residency focused on furthering the development of ‘cultural nodes’ as a means to help to connect residents and artists to cultural opportunities happening throughout the city.
The temporary art installations will be exhibited at: Spencer Smith Park, Brant Hills Community Centre, Burloak Park, Lowville Park, Norton Park, Tansley Woods Community Centre. These locations were selected as they were identified in the Cultural Action Plan as potential locations of cultural nodes.
