From pay-what-you-want pieces and art scratch cards to Creativity under Quarantine – Darren John invites us to re-think the way we engage with art, creative action and also our immediate surroundings.
For Darren, a more playful and curious approach to our worlds will provide a much more enriched experience of it – and good news, everyone is invited.
Welcome to Stay Curious: A time and space travelling cabin set in the Faraway Forest – offering an experience as unique as each and every one of us.
Step inside and take yourself on a journey to your most playful and curious moments.
A place where your inner compass of ‘what is’ + ‘what isn’t’
is replaced by ‘what if..’.
How long and where you choose to travel once inside is up to you, but Darren is keen to remind you that just as with life..
”The more you put in, the more you get out.”
A full panoramic experience – a place to just be. No gimmicks, no flashy novelty. A place of solace and autonomy in a field of hyper stimulation, timetables and formalities.
The installation was enjoyed and experienced by thousands of visitors in the Faraway Forest throughout the festival. From inquisitive children to those looking for a quiet space away from the crowds in the early hours.
During the first two days of the festival, Darren painted the side panels.
After the many many visitors, the shanty cabin was still standing at the end of the festival.
