The Burlington Gardens Festival is part of Brown’s London
Art Weekend with a series of events held at the entrance on Burlington Gardens
to the Royal Academy of Arts. The festival was held on Saturday 4 July 2015.
Outside on Burlington Gardens, the road had become a
car-free zone with activities and food stalls with a picnic table. A drawing
workshop is set up outside which encourages participants to draw the movements
of acrobats make as they enact the movements of the Unexpected Hill art installation. There are colouring in activities
for the children to get stuck in to.
There is also the Raze
Bloom by Rachael Champion which explores landscapes and architecture, which
is a look at how real estate developments bring down the natural landscapes in
order to build properties.
On the inside, there are other art installations to set the
eyes on such as Unexpected Hill by SO?
Architecture and Ideas, which is a wall of ceramic tiles which are all in
different shapes and sizes and are able to position them to form different
structures.
An Interactive T-shit printing area has touch screens with
preloaded print designs which can be adjourned to the materials creating a
customisable T-shirt. It is brought together by Epson and YR-STORE with designs
by the Royal Academy Schools students, tutors and associated artists.
There are performances with one which I absolutely loved was
HERD by Richard Wilson RA + Breathing
Space which were the use of voice, metal and cello playing on the acoustics of
the architectural structure of the building.
