Sculpture at Barangaroo

Visit the stunning, free outdoor exhibition that will surprise and delight

Sculpture at Barangaroo returns to Barangaroo Reserve, presented with the Barangaroo Delivery Authority and Sculpture by the Sea.

The visually stunning, free-to-the-public outdoor exhibition will surprise and delight Sydneysiders and visitors as they explore the green space at the spectacular harbour foreshore park.

Visitors can enjoy 14 artworks by nine established and emerging Australian artists. Five new works have been created specifically for the exhibition and nine existing sculptures have been hand selected by curator Geoffrey Edwards to compliment the striking landscape and backdrop.

Edwards’ vision for the exhibition is to showcase three streams of sculpture: classic, modernist, autonomous works, site-specific sculpture as installation in an area that demands it and compelling Indigenous artworks, many from artists that are local to the Sydney region, that draw on the geographical significance of Barangaroo.

Exhibiting artists include esteemed Australian sculptor Michael Le Grand, who will be celebrated with a mini-retrospective of six works, Richard Tipping, Nicole Monks, Cave Urban, Andrew Rogers, Adam King from the Boomalli Aboriginal Artists Co-operative, Tereasa Trevor, Christopher Langton and Elyssa Sykes-Smith.

The park will be open 24/7, but visitors are encouraged to view the works between 8am and 6pm.

Where: Barangaroo, Sydney

When: 19-20 August 2017 from 8am to 6pm

Bandaloop

A Vertical Dance Perfomance

Experimental, graceful, powerful and provocative. This is a swooping, perspective-changing dance performance on the side – yes, the side – of the sheer glass facade on the ANZ building at 20 Martin Place.

Pioneering vertical dance, Bandaloop weaves dynamic physicality, intricate choreography and the art of climbing to inspire wonder and awe in humble, ground-bound onlookers.

With the help of state-of-the-art climbing equipment, the dancers will be suspended from the roof of the ANZ building and glide across the vertical surfaces, multiple stories high, performing a ‘sideways dance’ that is dreamlike and hypnotic.

Bandaloop has performed off the cliffs of Tianmen mountain in China and Seattle’s famous sky needle, along with a myriad of locations across Sao Paulo, Mumbai, Seoul, Soweto, Lisbon and New York. Bandaloop is performing in Australia for the first time as part of Art & About Sydney, an ongoing year-round program of temporary art projects in unusual spaces produced by City of Sydney.
