SITE LAB // Small Gestures Toward Infinity
24 July - 17 September 2023
SITE LAB // Small Gestures Towards Infinity is a series of temporary public art projects in the Lismore CBD. Visit Lismore CBD from 29 July – 17 September 2023 for art in public spaces and a free program of artist talks, live listening events and sculptural activations.
Floating sculptures, experimental sounds, living installations, and community-engaged works, are all brought to life by esteemed artists including Peter Faulkner, Michael Donnelly & Betty Russ, Merinda Davies, Belinda Smith, and Chris Bennie. These new works activate public space and invite the community to share in experiencing the experimental and site-specific responses to our regional, post-flood landscape. Watch a film by Dom Sullivan that captured these moments at the launch event.
