Atrium Gallery | Free
Lincoln Austin, assisted by Artist Chelsea Jewell, presents a new, site-specific sculptural, tensegrity and light-based work The Weight of Experience. Suspended in the Atrium Gallery a geometric form catches light and creates shadows, shifting and morphing throughout the day and night, overlayed with a colour-coded animation of transformed community-submitted poetry texts.
The Weight of Experience encourages audiences to reflect on the life experiences we each carry within us, and the Queer experience of vigilantly reading and interpreting code to assess safety and belonging.
