Art in the Dark seeks to celebrate and foster community-building through design participation and collaboration between artists, businesses and community initiatives in the Grey Lynn and Ponsonby area.
A nighttime event in Ponsonby's Western Park, Art in the Dark aspires to be as environmentally friendly and interactive as possible. Illuminated by installations, projected short films, and performances around a purpose-built pavilion, the park will transform into a temporary community hub.
The concepts of "Community, Environment and Utopias", inform Art in the Dark, and under the cover of darkness, artists will address them while exploring the implications of mobility, night, sky and light.
Art in the Dark is concerned with developing new structures for social organisation and sustainability, and so welcomes contributions of materials, expertise or time from members of the Grey Lynn and Ponsonby community.
Art in the Dark will début in mid-October 2010, with a series of smaller events and workshops for artists and supporters before the big night. Check back here soon for more info, and join our Facebook group for event updates
