    Urs Fischer - Cockatoo Island Installation | Kaldor Art Projects - international contemporary art in Australia

    This looks like a great art installation on Cockatoo Island in Sydney Harbor.

    Quoted: IUrs has a reputation for spontaneously creating bold, imaginative art exhibitions, often using a combination of prepared pieces and other works made entirely in situ. Improvisation plays an important role in his art making process, built on a body of work prepared with an exhibition in mind. Urs came to Australia late last year and considered several locations before choosing Cockatoo Island's convict prison as the site for his installation. Originally trained as a photographer, he works mostly in the traditional artistic media of drawing, sculpture and painting, but the artist has such a wide vocabulary that it is impossible to predict what form his response to the island might take.
