IAG Kids x Kellie O’Dempsey: above
Get ready to walk in the sky this summer! above is an immersive art experience, created in collaboration with artist Kellie O’Dempsey, inviting visitors to step inside the clouds.
The interactive space transforms with the rolling colours of sunrise to sunset, allowing visitors to cloud-gaze, draw and explore what lies beyond our atmosphere.
It’s not just an exhibition to look at, it’s a world to step into, celebrating the sky as the one space we all share. All ages are welcome.
About the artist
Kellie O’Dempsey creates site-generated installations and performances that bring together projection, video, collage, architectural space, gestural line, performance and digital drawing. Working both solo and in collaboration with sound artists and contemporary dance practitioners, O’Dempsey’s practice explores, deconstructs and heightens the concept of public space as a shared experience.
By manipulating space and altering perception, O’Dempsey transforms and reinvigorates the familiar, creating a sense of brilliance. Using performance, play, line and colour, the public productions enable an inclusive form of cultural interaction, and the immersive installations and performance drawing works invite audiences to engage directly with the visceral process of making.
