Overview

There are a lot of people who don't like being called up on stage when someone needs a volunteer. These are the people who never enjoy the limelight. They never wanted their fifteen minutes. These are the boring and unfortunate souls who will never see their name in lights.

Unlike the rest of us, who have registered to literally have their name in lights as part of the Sydney Festival exhibition by artist John Baldessari. This American conceptual artist has put together a production in which you are the main attraction. Every fifteen seconds, every 24 hours over the majority of the festival, those attention seeking or perhaps just art loving kids who have registered will be able to see their name pop up in lights on the side of the Australian Museum.

It's not too late to register, and it's free to do so. Participants will receive an email letting them know the time their name will come up. So embrace fame, and let hundreds of glittering light globes make your name shine across Sydney.
