Takes simple concepts and turns them into art
Measuring the Universe.
Measuring the Universe turns the domestic custom of recording children’s heights on door frames into a public event, referring through its title to humankind’s age-old desire to gauge the scale of the world. The process creates a work of art with a multitude of participants, merging art with everyday life in a confluence that is at the very center of Ondák’s artistic practice.
For Kaldor Public Art Project 28, highly acclaimed Slovakian artist Roman Ondák presents a trio of participatory works at Parramatta Town Hall. The historic venue hosts Swap (2011), the riveting interactive chain of barter and exchange that delighted13 Rooms audiences, and Measuring the Universe (2007), previously presented to great acclaim at MoMA, New York, and Tate St Ives, United Kingdom. The third work,Terrace (2014) has been created especially for Kaldor Public Art Project 28
