To coincide with NAS Gallery’s upcoming exhibition, the Redlands Konica Minolta Art Prize 2017, the National Art School is staging NAS Nights: Performance presented by Barbara Cleveland, on Thursday 6 April from 6 – 9pm.

Formerly known as Brown Council, Barbara Cleveland is collaboration between four artists: Frances Barrett, Kate Blackmore, Kelly Doley and Diana Smith. Together they make videos and performance works that deliberately blur the distinction between stage and gallery, ranging in tone from biting political satire to slapstick farce and often engaging with feminist and queer ideologies.

For one night only, they are bringing their unique brand of performance to the National Art School, transforming the old Darlinghurst gaol into an afterhours adult playground, with an expertly curated line-up of performance, lectures, music, food and drink in one of Sydney’s most unique historical venues.
