This event is now complete. If you want to revisit the talk, visit our Library, or subscribe to the MPavilion podcast via iTunes, Pocketcasts, Stitcher, Spotify, or wherever else you get your podcasts.
Learn about how public art can shape its surroundings—and influence design in the city!
Join Julian O’Shea, founder and CEO of global educational social enterprise, Unbound, in a talk about the controversial history, and influential legacy, of Vault. The 1980 geometric abstract sculpture by Ron Robertson-Swann, is now situated outside ACCA, a short walk away from MPavilion.
Using the visual language of Vault and the surroundings of MPavilion, we will then make our own portable infinite reflection devices: kaleidoscopes!
With mirrors, mailing tubes, pebbles, grass and leaves that catch your eye, we’ll each make a kaleidoscope to see MPavilion reflecting, in an endless array of potential patterns.
We would like to acknowledge that Swoop Sight is held on, and engages with, the stolen land of the people of the Eastern Kulin Nations.
This event has been developed as part of the M_Curators, an MPavilion program engaging young makers, doers and programmers. This initiative is made possible by our presenting partner Bloomberg Philanthropies.
