The Solar System Trail with The Cork Astronomy Club and Art Trail
A temporary distance to scale installation of the solar system linking Cork City Centre with Blackrock Castle Observatory. In 2008 we will mark the solar system with banners. In 2009 we will commission an artist for a solar system trail installation using inflatable's. These installations form the markers for various site-specific artistic and cultural performances over a 10 day period. The Sun will be represented by a large banner on Patrick’s Bridge with the next four planets represented by flags/banners along Merchant’s Quay and the Bus Station. The banners in the Docklands area (Jupiter/Saturn/Uranus) will be placed along the river walkway. Neptune will be a big banner on Blackrock Castle Observatory.
The banners will be individually printed with an image representing each planet commissioned to Cork Printmakers. Sponsors will receive a framed print of “their” planet. |
