Public art rocks.
Any event that gets people involved and excited about art is A-OK in our books.
In this case, we are talking about the return of Australia’s largest and most exciting public art event, the Biennale of Sydney. Now in its 17th year, the Biennale has a strong reputation for taking over Sydney with innovative local and international art.
So, in the jam packed schedule there are hundreds of amazing works to see. We can’t wait for Australian Brook Andrews’ Jumping Castle War Memorial (2010), a sizable inflated structure decorated in a Wiradjuri design. Fellow Aussie Fiona Hall will be creating twenty decorated beehives which will be placed in the Royal Botanic Gardens.
SuperDeluxe will be taking over Artspace with its unique Japanese culture, experimental music, and art. They will also be bringing us PechaKucha nights, inviting creatives to speak for twenty seconds on a topic from twenty slides.
Dates: 12 May – 1 August. Head to the Biennale website for the full program announcement.
Tell us: Who are you hanging out to see?
