INDEX is proud to open the 2013 SITE Festival, with a newly-commissioned installation by renowned artistSiobhán Hapaska. Curated by Helen Kincaid.In Hapaska’s dramatic new work, the sky has to turn black before you can see the stars, made specifically for the Brunel Goods Shed in Stroud, five uprooted olive trees are suspended within a scaffolding cube, each tree yoked to a motor, creating unsettling yet magical vibrations. The trauma of uprooting clashes with this exuberant and abundant movement – a continuous ecstatic last gasp, extending the possibility of change and hope.
