Monotone Rainbow is a large scale artwork by
Nicole Breedon , wherein a ghostly monochromatic rainbow appears at dusk. Entry is free and the Launch Party will be at the
Testing Grounds , 1-23 City Rd, Southbank on Friday 3 November 2017 from 6-11pm. There'll be $5 beers, BBQ and DJs, and all are welcome.
Supported by the City Of Melbourne Arts Grants Program, the exhibition is open to the public from Wed to Sat evenings from dusk until 2 December. Testing grounds is wheelchair accessible.
This project extends the
artist's interest in technology and optical phenomenon. Recycled water and rear projection technology will form the illusion of a rainbow; the ethereal spectre like a 3D hologram manifesting each evening against the darkening sky. Open to a multitude of interpretations, the Monotone Rainbow, stripped of colour, echoes contemporary fears for the fates of equality and climate change and references the beauty and sadness that co-exist in the current state of our world.
It strikes a chord with the current marriage equality debate, and broadly outlines the artist's bleak outlook on issues affecting Australia and our universe and warns of the fragility of the natural world. Offering a meditative space and destination for individuals and groups to gather and reflect, come along and find your own interpretation.
