Liquid Architecture 8 Launches In Sydney Next Week!

Liquid Architecture 8 kicks off in Sydney next week at the Carriageworks with three nights of performance from June 28 to 30. International guests include the shudder inducing French audiovisual performance group Cellule d?Intervention Metamkine and Swiss aktionist performance artists Runzelstirn & Gurgelstock and Dave Phillips, who will perform alongside local artists Tony Mason-Cox, Natasha Anderson, Peter Newman and Lloyd Barrett, among many more.

First up on the Thursday night is the gala opening, a night of skewed interpretations of popular music with Winner, Tony Mason Cox and Daniel Green, before a night of extreme performance on the Friday with Runzelstirn & Gurgelstock, Dave Phillips, Natasha Anderson and Lucas Darklord before an AV spectacular on Saturday night featuring Cellule D’Intervention Metamkine, Lloyd Barrett, Abject Leader, Kamusta and Peter Newman, to close the festival. Also, the ?Terminal? installation program of sound works will be in the foyer for the duration of the festival. Season passes are only $30 too so be sure to make the most of the opportunity and check out the whole festival.

SYDNEY ARTIST FEATURE
______________________________________
:: :: :: :: Winner :: :: :: ::
Winner is Sydney’s own psychotic supergroup covers band. Your favourite pop hits as you’ve never heard them before. Get down to such classics as Bohemian Rhapsody and Tainted Love as performed by a demented Eno-era Roxy Music featuring Sweden, Swerve and Adrian (Spastic Howitzer) Bertram.

:: :: :: :: Peter Newman :: :: :: ::
Peter Newman is an emerging artist based in Sydney who primarily produces time-based works for both installation and performance. His practice is concerned with intuitively drawing from both digital technologies and organic artmaking methodologies in aspiring towards a seamless fluidity of process, ultimately offering an abstract cinema for the ears and eyes. He is driven by a need to explore the complex nature of time and its perception, and to produce work which exists firmly within it, devoid of an abstract critical distance. Newman has performed or exhibited around Australia in varying capacities at the Museum of Contemporary Art, the Art Gallery of New South Wales, Canberra Contemporary Art Space, the Perth Institute of Contemporary Arts, the Australian Centre for the Moving Image, the 2004 and 2006 Sydney Big Day Out music festival, and numerous artist-run spaces such as First Draft and Phatspace. Several of his sound and video works travelled to South Korea last year to be part of the Seoul Fringe Festival and Gwangju Biennale.
