MONDAY

"One day it was clear to me that my hands and tools were no longer sufficient to work with the colour. I needed the model to paint the monochrome painting" Yves Klein

Tonight Monotone Symphony is at GV Art at 7pm. Celebrating the 50th anniversary of Yves Klein's Monotone Symphony and Anthropometries of the Blue Period (March 1960) in which Klein tried to distance himself from the creation of his work, this new performance will utilise the latest in interactive video projection and sound design technology; using light instead of paint to recreate Klein's images.
