CONTEMPORARY ART FROM THE CITY FRINGE
25 March - 24 April 2010
Partner venue of Art Month Sydney 2010
From 25 March to 24 April, as part of Art Month Sydney, CarriageWorks presents carriageARTworks - a free annual event celebrating the most original and evocative works of art from Sydney’s city fringe.
A cultural Mecca for contemporary art and design, CarriageWorks features artists from select galleries and Artist Run Initiatives around Sydney, curated by a panel of Sydney's most well-known artistic contributors, including Guy Maestri (Winner 2009 Archibald), Jamie Dawson (Executive Producer, CarriageWorks), and Paul Howard (Senior Curator, Casula Powerhouse).
As a partner venue of Art Month Sydney, CarriageWorks - the converted rail carriage workshop, in Eveleigh - is the venue for Art Month’s closing night celebrations on March 31. Showcasing new ideas as well as the most creative aesthetic pieces in an incredible industrial space, carriageARTworks brings artist, audience and gallery curators together and acts as the backdrop for a speed-dating-style meet and greet earlier on March 31, which is culminating with a finale party for Art Month that brings together Sydney’s most creative and cutting-edge types under one cathedral-scale roof.
Featuring a broad mix of work on canvas, sculpture, photography, mixed media, video art, performance art and textiles, carriageARTworks unfolds over a month into a multi-faceted public showcase of creativity. Artist talks, tours and themed forums spark conversation around art from the point of the artist and the consumer, and boast the cream of Sydney’s creative crop in one unarguably impressive gallery space.
Opened in 2007, CarriageWorks is housed in the old Eveleigh Rail Yards, located within the emerging Redfern Waterloo Precinct. Featuring original nineteenth century industrial details, the physical beauty and scope of CarriageWorks is undeniably inspiring. One of few opportunities for artists to discuss their own practice and connect with their audience and other artists, carriageARTworks is received with open arms as a refreshing addition to Sydney’s art calendar.
The south west city fringe area stretches north to Parramatta Road, east to Bourke Street, south to the Princess Highway through Sydenham, west to Marrickville and Petersham – with CarriageWorks lying at the heart of the area.
This year's curatorial panel consists of:
Paul Howard, Senior Curator Casula Powerhouse
Nicky Ginsberg, NG Art Gallery
Michelle Perry, Wilson Street Gallery
Guy Maestri, 2009 Archibald Winner
Jamie Dawson, CarriageWorks Executive Producer

Bernadette Walong
groundUP!
Bernadette Walong returns to Sydney with a new dance work inspired by indigenous Australian and New Guinean serpent creation stories, The Rainbow Serpent and Water Snake.
13 years after her groundbreaking collaboration with Bangarra Dance Theatre to create Ochres, she brings together an all female cast in a mesmerising hybrid of dance, installation, live voice and film. groundUP! draws on the collision of present with past, on birth and destruction, totemic embodiment, on flight and navigation, and encourages audiences to find contemporary relevance in stories and myths.
