Ruminations brings temporary site-responsive art installations and performances into the Rumsey Rose Garden in Parramatta Park. With historical and contemporary multicultural references to people, place and horticulture the works include: golden bandaged trees; a giant pipe rosette; series of woven gods’ eyes peering out from the climbing roses; a huge suspended fabric gramophone horn with soundscape in the rotunda trellis; and a Flamenco/Japanese fusion of live music and contemporary dance performed on the overgrown duck pond. Ruminations invites you to pause, reflect and ‘stop to smell the roses’ as you stroll through Parramatta Park’s Rumsey Rose Garden this spring. Curated by Kath Fries.
Participating artists ~ Kath Fries, Simon Alexander Cook, Vanessa White with Karl Krebs, New Neighbours Project: Chrissie Ianssen and Majid Rabet, and WeAve Parramatta.
