Opening Night: Thursday 7th March
Times: 6-9pm
Exhibition continues: Tuesday – Saturday until the 28th March, 12-4pm.
“cloakroom” at club [construction] ! implements a combination of new-media and unorthodox materials as tools of activation, including (but not limited to…); construction, experimental sound, immersive lighting, interactive installation, participatory performance, 3D-CGI (computer-generated) animation & filmography, video collage, digital fabrication, atmospheric effects systems, interview & conversation, research & documentation and a collection of custom digitally-knit football scarves. Adorned with digitally-interactive sculptural applications, the audiences are invited and encouraged to try-on, swap and share the football scarves as they navigate both the physical exhibition space, and the ephemeral online space that they gain access to on their mobile phones through the football scarves.
Reuben Brown (he/him) is a sculptor and 3D-CGI artist currently based in Belfast, N.Ireland, specialising in 3D-CGI (computer-generated) filmography, interactive installation and performance.
