Twine Projects is set to construct a large scale slingshot in DOCK 1, Port Adelaide, and launch paint filled latex
balloons against a large canvas which will be stretched and attached horizontally to a shipping container.
The
balloons will be launched not only by the artists of Twine Projects but by members of the Port Adelaide
community and all those attending the event.

The resulting mosaic of splash patterns will be framed for exhibition at the Black
Diamond Gallery in Port Adelaide. The entire event will be photographed with a professional
high speed camera capture the precise moment of impact/rupture. These images will be presented along
side the canvases in the Black Diamond Gallery exhibition which opens on the 7th of June.
This project represents the second major commission for Twine Projects, following a hugely successful event at Jacobs Creek for their SALA celebrations in 2013.
Join us on the day as we create history and create art, together in Port Adelaide. There will be food vans and coffee carts on the day to keep everyone fuelled up!
The Unexpected Port initiative is a partnership between the State Governments Arts SA, Renewal SA and the City of Port Adelaide Enfield.
The donated funds will go toward the construction of the sling-shot apparatus and the purchase of paint, latex balloons and canvas. Funds will also contribute towards the cost of hiring high speed photography equipment, printing the images and framing them for the exhibition.
Weather is the main concern for this one… We are at the mercy of mother nature! Alas, rain, hail or shine we will be there on the 1st of March ready to RUPTURE the day away!
