Fortified, Susie Losch
Description
Fortified is a site-specific installation responding to and activating the space within the former Virgils Antiques building, originally constructed as a furniture manufacturing warehouse in early colonial Gurambilbarra / Townsville. Working in collaboration and alongside artists, technicians and the local creative community experimentation with movement, light and sound may develop into an entirely new collaborative work, reinforcing the value of site-specific practice as a space for experimentation, exchange and artistic growth.
