Carriageworks has commissioned renowned German artist Katharina Grosse to create a spectacular, site-specific installation in Australia as the third in the Schwartz Carriageworks series of major international visual arts projects.  To be unveiled at Carriageworks on 6 January as part of Sydney Festival 2018 and running until 8 April 2018, this exciting new work will respond to the unique industrial architecture and grand scale of the heritage building.

Working directly on site at Carriageworks, Grosse will envelop the Public Space in more than 8250 square metres of suspended fabric—draped, knotted and hung across and through the architectural elements of the building—using a palette of raw colour to create a vast painting over the layers of folds. Visitors will be able to enter this total environment and experience the transformation of Carriagework’s historic structure.
