Overview
Kaldor Public Art Projects is back with their 27th show in 44 years. And they are obviously a superstitious bunch: hosting 13 international artists in 13 purpose-built rooms in the millennium's 13th year and calling the show 13 Rooms. Hmmm...
It adds up to 11 days of artistic awakening down at Walsh Bay. And for the more adventurous, there is an after-dark option on Fridays. An onslaught of reactions to and interactions with the exhibition, Parlour Nights encompasses thinkers, artists, musicians and people who just like talking.
With a little help from UTS and curated by SuperKaleidoscope, Parlour Nights will be set to the familiar beats of FBi DJs and lubricated by Grasshopper, one of our CBD's first small bars, now on pop-up duties. The drinks will be good, and even the coolest amongst you will be toe-tapping and shoulder-shrugging.
So prepare yourself with a solid argument like 'Damien Hirst: art or commodity/art as commodity' and brush up on the mother of performance and video art, Joan Jonas. Oh, and if you love watching politely confused old people, hang out in the Xu Zhen room (or just click here).
Parlour is free, but it's booking out. Reserve your place via Eventbrite.
