For Vivid Sydney 2016, Carriageworks announced a three-week long program and significantly expanded footprint, headlined by the premiere of a new project by renowned female artist Björk as part of a extensive line up of music, exhibitions and food, presented from 27 May until 18 June 2016.

Carriageworks is a major precinct for Vivid Sydney 2016, marking the third successful year the Redfern-based contemporary multi-arts centre has been involved in the annual Sydney event that celebrates light, music and ideas.

To celebrate the opening of the BJÖRK DIGITAL exhibition, Björk will travel to Sydney to curate two nights of music at Carriageworks, where she will DJ with special guests for two nights only on Friday 3 June and Saturday 4 June 2016.

BJÖRK DIGITAL, running from 3 – 18 June 2016, invites visitors to an exhibition of digital and video works that are the result of Björk’s new collaborations with some of the finest visual artists and programmers in the world. This will be completed by the Australian premiere of Black Lake, an immersive cinema experience featuring a cutting edge surround sound system, where the audience is encased in the claustrophobic and visceral experience of Black Lake. The work is directed by Los Angeles-based filmmaker Andrew Thomas Huang and was filmed in the lava fields of Iceland.
