Lives and works in Sydney
Using a variety of platforms – video installation, sculpture, performance and walking scores – Lauren Brincat explores non-verbal modes of expression through narratives or situations. She employs moving images and their soundtracks to probe historical ruptures and failures of language. By distancing us from a logical, direct, language-based perspective, her work offers multiple possibilities and interpretations.
In Brincat’s videos, she often performs in relative solitude. In such works, she pushes her physical and cognitive limits, following rule-based actions. Her ‘walking pieces’ occur in vastly different contexts, from empty fields, to busy urban sites, and the ocean. The video works take the form of documented and often repetitive actions. Collaboration is an important part of Brincat’s practice; with percussionists, architects, scientists, choreographers, equestrian riders and indigenous horse whisperers. Her sculptural pieces may sit alone or alongside the video works, often giving the moving image a tactile presence.
Brincat’s most recent work has taken the form of blank banners and sculptures made of sailcloth, as well as malleable forms in textile that may be activated by participants.
Brincat’s works are in the collections of: Art Gallery of New South Wales, Sydney; Museum of Contemporary Art Australia, Sydney; MONA / Museum of Old and New Art, Hobart; as well as private and corporate collections.
