'Marina Abramović: In Residence'
24 June – 5 July 2015
Pier 2/3, Walsh Bay, Sydney
Awarded the Golden Lion for Best Artist at the 1997 Venice Biennale, and listed as one of Time Magazine's 100 most influential people of 2014, Abramović has presented solo exhibitions at leading institutions around the world. Kaldor Public Art Project 30, 'Marina Abramović: In Residence', represented the latest development in the artist’s four-decade-long career, an innovative new experience at the forefront of international art.
Abramović and her team spent 12 days onsite at Pier 2/3, leading visitors through a series of transformative experiences that shifted their focus, challenged their perceptions, and changed the way they looked at art. Positioned just beneath the Sydney Harbour Bridge and around the corner from Sydney Opera House, the vast Walsh Bay Pier became a pop-up gallery venue, housing Abramović's extraordinary project, an artists’ residency program, and ongoing public talks and special events.
