This Thursday 10 August 2017 at 5.30pm the Lord Mayor of Sydney, Clover Moore will unveil Australian artist Agatha Gothe-Snape’s new artwork located in Wemyss Lane in Surry Hills, Sydney. The permanent public artwork titled Here, an Echo forms part of City of Sydney’s growing City Art Collection.

Sydney-based artist Gothe-Snape (b.1980) is highly regarded for her conceptual practice, and has exhibited her work extensively, both nationally and internationally. Gothe-Snape describes this new artwork as a ‘choreography for the city’. The Biennale of Sydney and City of Sydney last year awarded her the second Biennale Legacy Artwork Project, and the project was developed during 2016 as part of the 20th Biennale of Sydney: The future is already here – it’s just not evenly distributed, curated by Stephanie Rosenthal. The extended period of research, which included performances, walks and conversations informed the development of the 14 phrases that now appear in perpetuity in Wemyss Lane.
