Site: Hunter River Riverbank at Maitland
Brief:
Artist to design and create a simple safe firework artwork that visually links to actual fireworks that can be inserted easily into the ground and be approximately 30 – 50 cm high.
Around 350 need to be installed along a 30 metre site on the riverbank before 5.30pm on NYE so that as a mass installation it is visible, colourful and dynamic and able to be seen by people as they gather on the riverbank for the firework display in the evening.
Between 5.30 – 9.30 pm the artist and his/her team of assistants will assist up to 1,000 people of all ages to make their own firework artwork to be added to the existing installation.
The design of the firework needs to be simple, safe and effective to achieve real and efficient community participation in this NYE activity.
