James Charlton: Thrown
This new major installation involves dodging hundreds of flying tennis balls.
Overview
Post-object artist James Charlton is testing the limits of interactive art in this new major installation at Te Uru.
THROWN sees a series of free-standing mechanical structures launch hundreds of yellow tennis balls into the air before being collected by a team of voluntary agents. The installation challenges visitors to think of their own position within the exhibition, as they stand in the designated strike zone and dodge flying tennis balls. It intends to throw your sense of what art is, and question whether you are the audience, participant, performer, or object.
