What better way to unwind from the workweek than with a Friday afternoon ritual.
Accompanied by the harmonious melodies of a community choir, witness the magic of manufacturing and the creativity of construction as we release the workweek to the wind. Friday Ritual connects the creative industry with the public. Simple, scalable structures – designed to dance with the wind – will be sculpted by artist Matthew Aberline, with the Beautiful and Useful Studio, during the day and released in a moment of ritual on Friday afternoons, as the precinct transitions from business to pleasure. Matthew will set up his equipment, crafting the structures in the foyer of International Tower 3 in Barangaroo inviting members of the public to contribute to the creative process or to simply marvel at it as an onlooker. Join us at dusk as these delightful creations parade through the precinct, arriving at Waterman’s Cove, where they will be set up and displayed to the sounds of local choirs.
