Adain Avion
Rees devised and delivered Adain Avion, which was selected as Wales’ flagship project for the London 2012 Cultural Olympiad and London Festival 2012. It took the form of a DC9 Aeroplane transformed into a mobile arts space, social sculpture and travelling time capsule that migrated and nested at key locations around Wales . Over 2,000 participants, 50 artists and 65 community groups were involved in the project, 150 events in total with an overall audience of 48.000.
A simple idea, beautifully executed, Ghost Parade deftly sidestepped the blast furnace of polemic to tap into the collective memory of a community. And beside the screen, Adain Avion waited with a look which could only be described as steely. The Telegraph
