LIVE DREAMS 2022
Returning to Liveworks 2022, LIVE DREAMS is a platform for artists to share works-in-progress and ideas in development in a dynamic and responsive environment. LIVE DREAMS takes place both in-theatre at Carriageworks and digitally via our live streaming channel, Live On The Line. This platform offers us an exciting glimpse into current developments in experimental art, creating a crucible for experimentation and conversation.
LIVE DREAMS: CLOISTERED
Curated by Alex Wisser
Tuesday 25 October
Every inside exists in relationship to its outside, a relationship that the word cloistered holds in suspension, resonates through the history of its use, and echoes in the ambivalence that is shared between its two terms. Protection and Imprisonment mingle their meanings in its single signifier, consolidation of self and isolation from others contradict without dispelling their union. This provocation obviously refers to recent events. I am grateful to the artists who have taken it to places and times that I could never have predicted.

LIVE DREAMS: TIDAL
Curated by Louana Sainsbury
Wednesday 26 October
Tides have a rhythm of regularity and impermanence, both consistent and shifting. They signify a turn, a rise and fall, a surge and reveal, a changeover cycle and a return. TIDAL invites artists to reflect on the constant cycles of change; an advance and recession that can be slow, sudden, dangerous, surprising, joyful, devastating, predictable and mundane. We navigate our lives in a state of impermanence and flux, where time is both long and fleeting. Curiosity, endurance, creativity and resilience keep us moving forward. This program brings artists together to share their practice and respond to a provocation on the cycles of change. What will the next moment offer? What is revealed when the tides have turned?

LIVE DREAMS: IRL
Curated by River Lin
Thursday 27 October
Responding to the initiation of LIVE DREAMS during lockdowns in 2020 and while entering the post-pandemic phase of our times, the notion of IRL invites artists to critically rethink what makes real lives real in both contexts of human encounters and the digital culture. Working methods/ formats/ processes conflating virtual and in-person settings are encouraged to apply but are not limited to.
