The Lock-Up warmly welcomes curator, writer, and academic Anabelle Lacroix to the 2026 Artist in Residence program.
A. Lacroix is a lecturer in Curatorial and Cultural Leadership at the University of New South Wales, Sydney. Their research investigates night-time histories and the role of listening in museums at night, proposing the curatorial ear as a method to improve audibility and to shape who has a voice in the art institution using public programs.
Working with exhibitions, public programs, and radio, A. Lacroix is particularly interested in the overlapping field of curating and writing, involving performance, sound, speech and publishing. They are a co-founder of Radio Insomnia (2023-ongoing), a series of all-night public broadcasts, with the last edition in Eora/Sydney in April 2026. Recent curatorial projects also include ‘Transmission Point’ at La Perouse Museum, Randwick. Having experience working with institutions such as the Palais de Tokyo, the Centre Pompidou and the Australian Centre for Contemporary Art, their work is also informed by Liquid Architecture collaborations since 2014. Lacroix regularly contributes to contemporary art criticism and education, was an editor of Flaneur Magazine Issue 09 (2023), and has co-edited the book ‘An Act of Showing: Rethinking Artist Run Initiatives Through Place’ (with Maria Miranda, published by Unlikely, 2018).
