BLOOM

Overview

It's been nearly four months since we were first introduced to MPavilion and, though they debuted with the extraordinary promise of 118 free arts events, we're now unfortunately having to face the the last few. The temporary venue will be shutting up its petal-like structures for the final time on Sunday, February 1.

Now, to celebrate the creative spirit with which the project was founded, MPavilion is hosting an incredible artwork from the UK's Alisa Andrasek and Jose Sanchez. Previously seen at in the London Design Museum, 2012 Olympics and The Future Is Here exhibition at RMIT, BLOOM is an enormous structure composed of small interchangeable components like giant hot-pink Lego.

On Tuesday, January 27, four design agencies (Assemble, Edwards Moore, Sibling, and ARM Architecture) will face off against one another to manipulate pieces of the artwork into the best new form. You're invited to head along along from 10am-1pm to watch the action or lend a helping hand. From the sheer size of the thing, it looks as though they may well need it.
