One of the ideas for a large sculpture for Grumpus that can create a projection mapped experience is to create a relief wall with cardboard, similar to the other large sculptures but with a more 2D cardboard design idea than 3 dimensional.
Examples of this have been pulled together in the Grumpus Pinterest to provide some inspirational ideas; https://www.pinterest.com.au/Thebadlament/grumpus/wall-relief-ideas/
One of the school groups engaged to work with SLQ on the Grumpus project will collaborate on this project with the AC team. The BSSSC has been earmarked as being in the best position to achieve the required results in the timeframe available for gallery installation. They will take inspiration from the Imagined Things in The Well, with the idea to focus on 'home of the Grumpus Things', creating a fantasy environment that activates children's (and adults) imagination with the idea to highlight the cardboard relief with projected storytelling visuals.
For the projection onto the relief wall a visual artist who has experience as a video projection artist will be engaged. The scope for the project will include the artist taking inspiration from the students stories in the development of the wall relief sculpture.

The back wall of the SLQ Gallery is where the relief wall will be positioned. With this positioning there are several considerations;
We ask the fabricator to build according to the supplied designs, using the finishes specified.
The most important considerations when putting together a brief for fabrication is communicating the design, scale and detailed dimensions, materials and finishes, timeline and delivery date.
If being fabricated off-site then transport, delivery and installation in the gallery also has to be considered. If their fabricated component also has to work with any other components (other sculptures, graphics, av hardware and lighting) then we should outline that as well in the brief (or say that we will give access to these).
Basically we need to communicate what we want as accurately as possible so that we get the correct cost captured and the best contractor engaged to do the work.
We will engage an artist to create the projection onto the cardboard wall relief.
We will ask an animator/motion designer to create a projection that responds to a brief which will include;
As this is a collaborative project, the artist will need to have scope to create their own vision and designs based on the above.
Key skills we are seeking for the contractor;
Key items for the artist to include in the brief;
* 8m x 4.5m 3D sculpture (made from cardboard, brown colour) * 4k resolution (for archiving and potential screen use) and 2K at 4/3 ratio? (or whatever the design size will be)
