PROJECTION PLATFORM / Sharing the National Collection Program
13th February – 9th May, 2027
The Lock-Up’s new outdoor exhibition initiative transforms its historic sandstone façade into a public-facing site for contemporary art after dark.
Inaugurated by a major partnership with the National Gallery of Australia and supported by the Australian Government’s Sharing the National Collection program, The Lock-Up has secured the loan of three major video works by internationally acclaimed artists Sophie Calle, Charles Lim and Club Até, extending the curatorial theme of An Infinite Score beyond the gallery walls.
Responding to the season’s interest in time as a continuous and unfolding score, the project brings a selection of nationally significant works by artists from Australia, Singapore, the United States and France, offering audiences an opportunity to encounter significant international contemporary art in the heart of Newcastle’s historic city centre.
