Factory 49, Marrickville, known for its exhibitions of experimental and
critical contemporary art, is opening the Factory 49 @ The Rocks Pop Up
for the month of March. Artist’s works will be for sale, providing a
wonderful opportunity for visitors, collectors and the general public to
experience an exciting affordable array of artists’ works.
Many of the artists exhibit internationally and are recognised for their
innovative experimental practice. Factory 49 is an Artist Run Space, focussed
on promoting artistic activities related to the guiding principles of the
international art movement known as non-objective art. The work on display at
the Factory 49 @ The Rocks Pop Up reflects an emphasis on the material
basis of art making, non-representation, purity and singularity of structure,
and emphasising the process of construction.
Artists from Factory 49 will be in attendance at the Pop Up and a video
will also be available showcasing a series of artist’s interviews.
Factory 49 looks forward to welcoming everyone to The Rocks where contemporary
art leaves the modern day white cube and comfortably settles into a beautifully
restored historic sandstone building in The Rocks.
The
Rocks Pop-Up is a partnership between Sydney Harbour Foreshore Authority and Arts
NSW.
