The Adelaide collective We Ask, a group of visual artists, musicians, performers and writers present their second Fringe Festival exhibition titled disIllusory, an interactive sanctuary where artists and audience take equal roles contributing to this creative environment.
Installations, painting, music, poetry, performance and comfy seating will all be part of a creative ecosystem and engaging hang out space. disIllusory will be an exploration of interactive art, inviting people to touch, move, dance and jam within the space around them.
Basically, we want to create something that people don't just look at but participate in, says Faolan Sidler, organiser and We Ask artist. Art has always been most powerful when people get together around it and share with each other, using creativity as a way of exchanging the basic emotional faculties that are part of all of us. With disIllusory, we're hoping we can disillusion people about conventional arts culture enough so they realize that creativity is anything you want it to be, and that everything you see will affect the things you do.
In addition to the interactive art exhibition, disIllusory will include three free performance nights throughout the Fringe; two focusing on music and one dedicated to spoken word performance and poetry.
The opening night of disIllusory will feature the music of local live artists Codices, Entactogen and The Speaking Chair.
We Ask's core members are Faolan Sidler, James Kerr, Luke Digance and Tom Drahos. To find out more about the group or to download a free copy of their debut CD Code, visit www.illusory.ws
