We look forward to seeing you all at this year’s Vivid Festival to view our unforgettable psychedelic electric art installation! ‘Let me play so I can lose my way’ is a new sculptural/ light and music installation by David Kenworthy and Steve Kilbey at 65 George St, The Rock in Sydney from May 25 till June 11. David Kenworthy is a visual artist from Fremantle working in the fields of sculptureand man made light. He has been an exhibiting artist for nearly 10 years and has created his vibrant, colourful light installation in art galleries, architectural spaces and outdoor environments in Perth, Melbourne and Sydney. Steve Kilbey is known as a musician with the avant-garde rock group The Church. But he is also a poet, writer, actor, blogger, vegan celebrity and fine artist himself. This year alone he has starred in a play, written a soundtrack for an upcoming film, gigged selectively, and recorded 2 new albums of new music. The collaboration between David and Steve has produced 5 new illuminated text artworks made entirely from different types of brightly coloured plastics. Each artwork is illuminated from with-in and the coloured text shines with such a vivid intensity that a wonderful multi coloured halo completely surrounds each artwork. While David has designed and manufactured the artworks, both he and Steve have composed text for the artworks. Steve has also written and recorded a completely new soundtrack to be heard with the installation. Their collaboration on this project has been nearly a year work and David and Steve are both thrilled with the final results.
Keep an eye on Steve’s Bandcamp page, all works will soon be available for digital download (if that’s what floats your boat!). This page will also be where you’ll go to get your SKP downloads and member discounted items. Enjoy Steve’s Bandcamp!

Our Grand Master has been very busy wowing crowds throughout Australia, while he simultaneously pens personal notes to all Northern Hemisphere subscribers (your cds will be mailed out in time for Christmas) – TTB.
