GLOW Winter Arts Festival features 50 events over 11 days. Opening the festival is Exxopolis, a sculpture creating a cathedral-like labyrinth of light, colour and sound. The sculpture is the size of half a football field and constructed using 3,000 square metres of plastic. It will arrive from London and make its home atop the Jam Factory Rooftop.
Other festival highlights include EMIT, an exhibition featuring artworks made using fluorescent materials, light, sound and community participatory works by artists including Joan Ross, Howard Arkley and Cara Ann Simpson at Chapel Off Chapel, a photographic walking competition titled Shot In The Dark where winning images will be displayed in retail windows in Stonnington utilising augmented reality technology that allows the public to view the exhibition exclusively through their smart phone, and The Rhythm Spectacular: The Music Of Beyonce which sees Adam Hall and The Velvet Playboys re-interpret Beyonce’s hits into a range of styles from the roaring ’20s to ’60s R&B, New Orleans street beat or with a twist of jazz.
