THE NIGHT WATCH

8 April, 2018 [ONE NIGHT ONLY] offsite, Broadbeach on the beach at Surf Life Saving Tower #30
 
Curated by REBECCA ROSS

Taking its name from a famous 16th century Rembrandt painting, The Night Watch is a modern rekindling of the much-loved Gold Coast tradition of the Sunday night beachside gathering. The project explored the act of ‘night watching’ by translating and reinterpreting the Golden Age themes of Rembrandt’s civic guard scene into a portrait of life, Gold Coast style, through a curated program of contemporary screen-based works.

THE NIGHT WATCH is co-commissioned by Festival 2018 and City of Gold Coast for Festival 2018, part of the Gold Coast 2018 Commonwealth Games and was supported by Screen Queensland and Griffith University Art Museum.
