Be amazed as local musicians bring art and music together in a very special Artist in Residence inspired by Making Place: 100 Views of Brisbane.
During the residency from 26 August to 27 September, five musicians from Brisbane-based Camerata – Queensland’s Chamber Orchestra, along with Brisbane-based composer Alexander Voltz, share their time between MoB’s Studio and Making Place, putting artistic process and collaboration on full display. Visitors will witness unique, immersive musical experiences where musician and composer collaborate to create new music that explores the ever-evolving question, “what makes place?”.
This unique residency lifts the curtain on the musical process and musical collaboration and allows musician and composer to embrace spontaneous inspiration in the aspirational surrounds of the exhibition. Taking inspiration from not only the artwork itself, but also visitor interactions with the work and their own process in the space, this immersive experience is one-of-a-kind.
The final composition will be performed in concert later in the year. Find out more here.
MoB’s Artist in Residence program is supported by Tim Fairfax AC.
