TEDxMelbourne Event sharing Ideas Through the Power of Music

Music is a universal language. It brings us closer to each other – across time, across cultures, across moments. Music unites us. In 2020, we need it more than ever. During the pandemic many artists and entertainers from across the world lost their main source of income as live venues shut down and concerts were cancelled. TEDxMelbourne and their community appreciate the power of music and connection, so it was an obvious choice for the next event to be supporting and celebrating local music artists.

This event will not only provide a platform for them to perform, but to also delve behind the music to uncover the ideas that inspire their work, talk about their creative process and discuss the importance of a strong and resilient arts industry in Australia and across the globe.

The three-dimensional artwork, SHARE 2020, is a larger-than-life figure cast in bronze and painted muted grey and brown, a palette exclusive to this sculpture. The character clasps a smaller, vivid blue-painted figure that often features in KAWS’ work, designated by the artist as the BFF (best friend forever). The artwork has been a Pt. Leo Estate project in-the-works for over 14 months and like other KAWS’ works, expresses the fragility of contemporary life in the ‘age of loneliness’.
