Carriageworks have unveiled major new artworks commissioned from leading Australian contemporary artists. In 2020 the Redfern multi-arts precinct will house immersive and participatory large-scale art installations by Rebecca Baumann, Daniel Boyd, Kate Mitchell, open from 8 January, and by Reko Rennie, whose illuminated text work REMEMBER ME will launch in late January. These installations will be presented free to the public, opening as part of the Sydney Festival and continuing throughout the year.

Carriageworks Head Curator Visual Arts Beatrice Gralton said, ‘Carriageworks is a site imbued with history, yet each of these projects are firmly anchored in the present day. They reflect the capacity for artists to navigate a cultural compass that embraces paradox and shapes beauty in a troubled world. While each installation varies across subject and form, all use light and explore time. The artists employ light in different states across Carriageworks– natural, projected, photographic and LED. While both the concept and experience of time is used to examine solar movement, deep space, census data and perceptions of history.’
