International Year of Astronomy - South Africa

Sutherland Reflections


Bringing in 2009's International year of Astronomy together with the South African Astronomical Observatory in Sutherland, artists Bronwyn Lace and Marcus Neustetter were launching their project with experimental interventions during the night of New Year's Eve 2008. 

These interventions on the evening of 31st December acted as precursors and experiments for the following two weeks of activities that resulted in a land-art and kite flying spectacle up to and on the 14th January 2009.

Sutherland Reflections aimed to create an experience for participation, artistic interventions and a creative spectacle in the form of a community driven kite flying artwork.
