LIVE FUTURES: Keynote converstion with Eric Bridgeman (ON DEMAND)

LIVE FUTURES

Every Saturday and Sunday afternoon of Liveworks dive into LIVE FUTURES, a series of curated public conversations that explore the pivotal role of artists in defining the new civic life we are entering. In this sustained period of disruption and change, LIVE FUTURES offers radical new thinking and investigates ways to build a more empowered and equitable world.

All LIVE FUTURES events will be held live in-venue at Carriageworks and will also be live streamed on Vimeo and embedded on our website. Accessible to national and global audiences, LIVE FUTURES will complement the voices of artists with those of specialists from other disciplines in order to dive deeply into the possibilities of our future world.
All the events in the LIVE FUTURES Series will be available on demand for 7 days after they air, through our digital experimental art channel LIVE ON-THE-LINE. Each event goes for 1 and half hours.

Keynote Conversation: Eric Bridgeman

Join Australian-Papua New Guinean artist Eric Bridgeman for a conversation about his major commissioned work A barrow, a singsing—viewable across the duration of the Liveworks Festival—as well as his broader artistic practice, which takes place between his Queensland studio and his ancestral homelands in Papua New Guinea and often involves collaboration with members of his extended family. Bridgeman’s work is intensely personal, while also engaging with broader cultural narratives including tribal custom, family relationships and the sporting code rugby league.

Bridgeman will be joined in conversation by Bradley Vincent, Head of Curatorial and Programs at HOTA, Home of the Arts on the Gold Coast, Queensland. HOTA have co-commissioned A barrow, a singing with Performance Space as part of an innovative three-year partnership between the two organisations.
