Sculpture at Barangaroo

Overview

Lovers of outdoor sculpture, you no longer have to wait till October for your waterfront fix. That's because the good folks at Sculpture by the Sea have teamed up with the Barangaroo Delivery Authority for an epic new annual exhibition, Sculpture at Barangaroo.

Launching on Saturday, August 6, the inaugural event will feature 14 spectacular outdoor works, created by 15 Australian artists. Eight of the pieces are brand new, while the other six are existent, but have been handpicked for their suitability to the site. Throughout the 16-day display, the exhibiting artists will give free talks on-site and there'll be opportunities for audience participation.

Established and emerging artists are represented, including Sean Cordeiro and Claire Healy, Marley Dawson, Lucy Humphrey, Ron Robertson-Swann OAM, Margarita Sampson, Sangeeta Sandrasegar, Yasmin Smith, Marcus Tatton, Ken Unsworth, Sally Kiddal, Lyndsay Urquhart, Emily Nichol and Tereasa Trevor, and Auntie Deidre Martin.

The exhibition will show until Sunday, August 21, closing with a massive free day party to celebrate Barangaroo Reserve's first anniversary.

"We are very excited to be presenting Sculpture at Barangaroo, which will showcase once more the amazing public space the NSW Government has created at Barangaroo," said Craig van der Laan, CEO of the Barangaroo Delivery Authority. "Works to be exhibited by the extraordinary team of assembled artists will highlight the textures of Barangaroo's spectacular sandstone and gardens, drawing on our commitment to sustainability and the significance of Aboriginal history and culture in this special place."
