Bubble Wrap
LAUNCH 12.30pm TUESDAY 20 FEBRUARY 2007

Operative 11am-2.30pm daily to August.
Lion Arts Centre Courtyard
between the Experimental Art Foundation and Media Resource Centre

Developed specifically for the Lion Art Centre site, 'Bubble Wrap' is 
an innovative and interactive art installation for the public realm. 
It aims to bring a new, surprising and vibrant element of interest to 
a wide range of city users.
In the centre of the courtyard, soap bubbles pop, sway and push their 
way up and under passing feet. The installation celebrates play and 
experimentation and invites exploration. 'Bubble Wrap' offers 
individual enjoyment and a voyeur's opportunity - to watch other 
people explore.

Sydney-based Duke Albada graduated from the prestigious Gerrit 
Rietveld Academy in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. Working part-time as 
an architect/designer, Duke is now a recognized artist of public art 
works which relate to the ecology and history of a given area. Her 
studio and gallery work seeks not only to make sculptures, but also 
to research and contemplate - in art, science, philosophy, geometry 
and music. Materials are varied and include new media, evanescent 
matter, natural materials, and building products. She has recently 
moved her works into the gallery and museum environment.
Duke has received numerous commissions both solo and collaboratively 
and has been a regular exhibitor at prestigious public art events. 
Her works are held in a number of private collections.
