Description
Incorporated onto the corridor and lobby walls of Centrepointe Theatres, the artists created two glittering tile murals. Thousands of small iridescent glass tiles reflect and glow with colour and light as if illuminated, slowly revealing lines of text to the viewer.
This artwork celebrates the crucial role that the public plays in the arts by positioning the audience and its experiences as the subject of the artwork. Written in the form of a minimalist theatre script, complete with characters, stage directions and lines, the multilingual text at the stage entrance portrays a scene of audience members attending the theatre. At the upper level, the graphically bold SHHHHH, tiled in vibrant red, resembling a draped theatre curtain furthers the quiet anticipation before a performance.
