The social - art project " Sydney Opera House 2000 "

         Sydney opera house is one the world's most famous objects of architecture and a symbol of Australia. An unusual and extraordinary architectural design and the upcoming Olympic Games inspired the author of the project to represent this architectural complex from a new point of view - as an art object.

 The author of this project has certain experience in turning the common and accustomed architectural buildings or memorials into unexpected artistic objects. Artist Andrew Shevchenko presents the project " Sydney Opera House 2000". The author has his own angle of view on this architectural complex. The design of it matches his idea. The domes of the building are turned into a huge and uncommon canvas. This artistic solution should naturally attract a curiosity of world mass media present at Olympic games 2000 in Sydney not to mention the citizens of Sydney and the guests of the city at that period of time.

 Technologically the project can be realized in a few ways. From the authors angle of view the best solution is the use of "rubber canvas" of required side and form with an in advance drawn image which can be wrapped up over the domes when required. Thus the object can be returned to its present state whenever required and no damage to the surface of the roof is made.

 This even will contribute the cultural program of the Olympic Games and attract definite and strong interest of world media arriving to Sydney for highlighting the Olympic games. Considering this the will of sponsors to finance, or help the project technologically, information ally etc is understandable and expected. Moreover we shouldn't forget the peak of tourist activity in Sydney at that period. Subsequently afterwards it is possible to support this activity by replacing the images on the domes of the Opera house. But this is a topic for future discussions.

 Considering the natural tourist and informational interest to our project we can suppose a certain progressive income for the city and Sydney Opera House budgets by selling souvenirs using symbols or other images of Sydney Opera House during the project activity such as

1. Post cards.

2. T-shirts.

3. Badges.

4. Document movie about the history of the project.

5. Posters.

6. Fireworks, concert during official opening of the project.
