SYDNEY FRINGE FESTIVAL SANDSCULPTURE DAY
For last year's Sandsculpture day, sculptors Joris Everaerts and Alison Cloustor engaged a throng of enthusiastic beach-going helpers. Together, like archaeologists, they unearthed long-buried stories of Bondi's Aboriginal past and seven three-metre vessels they had cast direct into the beach sands. Erected at sunset, the plaster forms stood like standing stones or surfboards. The artists return this year to extend the possibilities of beach sand-casting and ephemeral public sculpture. All are welcome!
DATE: Wed 21 Jan
Watercolours, oil paintings and drawings by Portuguese artist Francisco Pacheco, whose representations of places and landscapes expand into abstractions evolving from colours, forms and shapes full of movement and synergism between reality and dream. Francisco gives a recital of poetry on Sun 18 Jan along with other poets and live Spanish and Portuguese guitar music. Photographer Fernando Pacheco, who has studied at the New York Institute of Photography, combines messages of reality and movement through dynamic, colourful contrasts of light and shadow, landscapes and more abstract elements.
