Booth A03 3 - 6 Sep 2026 Offsite Our presentation at Sydney Contemporary 2026 brings together a group of internationally recognised artists whose practices are united by a deep engagement with materiality, transformation, and the relationship between object and surface. With a particular focus on sculpture and materially driven wall-based works, the booth explores how artists use diverse mediums, from bronze and stainless steel to charcoal, textile, pigment and paint; to create powerful physical and conceptual experiences.
