Architects of Air Steward (Luminarium) – Fri 26, Sat 27 & Sun 28 August 2022
‘Arboria II’ is an immersive and interactive sculpture, dedicated to the theme of ‘trees’ and designed to evoke wonder at the beauty of light and colour.
Inside the inflated structure, you will encounter three tree-like structures where cones and spheres combine to create a brightly luminous tree trunk and branches that reach over their head. A transformative and sensory experience for any age.
A luminarium provides a very accessible way of bringing a visual arts experience to a broad public. Visitors are encouraged to take it slowly when they explore the luminarium. People will walk round following their maps through the maze observing the effect of different coloured light on the appearance of their skin and clothing. They can sit down in the ‘pods’ and lie back to immerse themselves in the ambience of the colour and music. Visitors often have questions and like to discuss their experience with the stewards.
The stewards staffing a luminarium have a varied role to play. There is the purely practical aspect of running the structure – opening doors, taking tickets, helping with the cleaning etc. More importantly there is the relationship with the public – this is where you can make the biggest contribution in helping visitors to have the optimum experience of the luminarium.
You will need to be available for all of the following times: 4pm – 7pm Friday 25th, 9am – 5pm Saturday 26th & Sunday 27th August 2022. (Friday is a training session for the weekend)
Rate of Pay: NMW + holiday uplift
