Light, Sound, Artwork!

2 July 2023 | 12:30PM | Salamanca Arts Centre: Founders Room + MONA

Perception of colour through sound

“Turrell harnesses the numinous potential of light and space; kind of like what God would do if he decided to build a gazebo.” – MONA

Join Sarah Penicka-Smith as she leads you through a structured improvisation based around your perception of colour, before heading to MONA to sing under ‘Amarna’ for its dusk cycle. No experience necessary – resources will be provided ahead of the workshop so that you can fully immerse yourself in this unique and thought-provoking experience.

Workshop Fee

General Admission – $95

Includes a bus transfer to and from MONA

*A Booking Fee of $3.00 applies, plus a 2.2% Basket Fee which will be calculated at check-out.

DURATION

5hr 40min

PATRON’S ADVICE

Participants who are colour vision deficient or visually impaired are very welcome; this workshop is about expressing individual perception, so we’ll work with you to translate whatever you perceive into sound.
