Anna Schwartz Gallery, together with the 20th Biennale of Sydney and Carriageworks will present a new video work titled ‘Walk The Line’ by Australian artist Lauren Brincat for special guest on Friday 3 June at Carriageworks.

Working with performance and sculpture, Lauren Brincat constructs situations where the audience is invited to share her experience of everyday events. Brincat is known for her performative videos that document the artist walking in urban or natural environments, such as Walking in Traffic, 2012 and Dressing down, 2012, where the artist documents herself slowly unbuttoning her shirt. ​

During the Biennale, Brincat’s sculptural work Salt Lines: Play It As It Sounds, 2015-2016, has been on display at Carriageworks. Responding to the scale of Carriageworks’ large industrial spaces, the work is some five metres tall, can stretch to a length of 42 metres and has more than 1000 individual pleats. Conceived as a musical instrument where the body of the sculpture is made of pleated sails and brass tubing that play in response to movement, the work is activated each day by performers to reveal its broad spectrum and expressive character.
