Lot Fourteen to host key light installations at Illuminate Adelaide

As part of Illuminate Adelaide free city-wide centrepiece City Lights, Lot Fourteen will host ‘The Eyes’ and ‘Ursula Lassos the Moon’ on the lawns in front of the innovation district.

Aligned with school holidays, between 7–23 July, Illuminate Adelaide returns with a glowing program to light up CBD this winter.

Lot Fourteen’s installations will be adjacent to this year’s Adelaide Botanic Garden activation: Moment Factory’s Resonate, a brand new multi-sensory digital art experience.

The Eyes

By: Cool Shit

Ever felt like you’re being watched? With The Eyes, you actually are…

A commentary on drifting attention spans in an increasingly digital world, this 8-metre-high colossal inflatable structure made of dozens of technicolour eyeballs from international art collective CoolShit can be found on the lawns of Lot Fourteen…and yes, they’ll be watching to make sure you’re there.

Ursula Lassos the Moon

By: Studio Vertigo

Women have long been associated with the Moon, although no woman has ever walked on it. In mythology the Moon is commonly represented as female, and both have endured narratives of conquest throughout history. Reworking this narrative with a female protagonist, Ursula Lassos the Moon was commissioned as a response to the tale of an heiress who filled a park in England with dazzling inventions in 1905, which was a time when reaching the Moon was the stuff of science fiction.

Illuminate Adelaide’s free city-wide centrepiece City Lights will host a new series of immersive installations, artworks and large-scale activations set to turn Adelaide’s most iconic streetscapes into a night-time adventure of colour and sound.

Presented over 17 nights, from 7–23 July from 6pm-11pm. With more than 40 free works over 17 days, it will be a new program of boundary-pushing local and international artists who will reimagine laneways, street fronts and open spaces across the city in three precincts: North, East and West.
