WELCOME TO
Legacy Dream Space
An interactive art exhibition blending video, projection, theatre, digital art, and music into a reflective multimedia installation about Hope, Loss and Legacy.
Exhibition
Do you Wonder about the Past?
Do you Dream about the Future?
Are you Curious about how our lives create what follows?
Explore Legacy Dream Space, a glorious sensory world and engage in the unfolding of our shared future/space.
In Legacy Dream Space composer/multimedia artist Craig Harris and visual artist Candy Kuehn continue their long term collaboration with artists Kym Longhi and Jim Peitzman to create the Legacy Dream Space, a multi-dimensional story space designed to explore Loss, Hope and Legacy – wondering about the past, dreaming about the future, and engaging in the future’s unfolding.
Exhibitions include a freestanding multimedia installation, digital illustration prints on walls, hanging painted/printed fabrics, music, soundscapes and performance opportunities, and community gatherings. A series of events provide opportunities to explore the theme, capture new content, and integrate a community’s presence and stories into future instances of the work.
Legacy Dream Space is rich in visual, aural and thematic content, evolving through community engagement and incorporating what has transpired into the present content.
Legacy Dream Space exists as an ongoing creative environment. Visitors are invited to engage with the material available, explore stories and previous engagement, and make offerings to this living time capsule.
