Artists in Nature International Network (AiNIN)

Some people have already made their escape. Fled to the hinterland. Typically, they’re to be found on isolated properties at the end of impossible paths.

A group have been coaxed out though – 18 in all – gathering together at Greenfields Gallery and Sculpture Park where, over the course of a week, they’re each creating temporary, site specific artworks that will be on view to the public for two days only. They’re members (both Australian and international) of Artists in Nature International Network (AiNIN).

There’s even going to be a public breakfast launch for the event on Saturday 5 July from 8.00 – 10.00am.

And for those keen to hear about the history of AiNIN, Floating Land, an participatory art pracatice, the Kin Kin School of Arts Hall will host just that on Saturday 5 July, from 10.30am…

Session 1 – Floating Land: Now & Then – In conversation with founder of Floating Land, Kevin Wilson an current curator, Michael Brennan. Moderated by Toni Wills, Executive Director of Sunshine Coast Creative Alliance.
