Seedpod artist Rae Howell is developing a new work in residence at 41 Lydiard Street North, Ballarat, from May 8 – 19.
The Piano: Hook, Line and Tinker is a public ‘undoing’ of a piano, where the components of a retired acoustic upright, will be turned inside-out, and dissected for perusal.
You are invited to walk through and examine the many thousands of parts that make up a piano, from the inside action mechanism – the levers, pins and hammers, to the keys, trapwork, and cabinetry.
Join Rae for an insight into the piano’s modus operandi, its complex mechanical beauty, and an impression of its 100-year+ history, including the many possible stories from its lifetime.
Where: 41 Lydiard Street North, Ballarat 3350 (between The George Hotel and the Regent Cinema).
When: Thursday May 18 and Friday May 19 from 4:30pm-6:30pm, with artist in conversation at 6pm each evening.
Hook, Line and Tinker takes place through generous venue support from The George Hotel – Ballarat’s home for entertainment and accommodation.
