As part of the 2013 Adelaide Festival, revered artist Laurie Anderson is set to astound and delight with an exhibition featuring her work of the last thirty years. Pioneer of the 1970s downtown New York art scene, Laurie Anderson’s experimental work as performance artist, composer, musician, and writer, has seen her become a legendary icon of contemporary art and music – a master storyteller who “elevates exceptional moments from the everyday”.
This captivating collection features installation works that bookend her career and includes the iconic Duets on Ice – to be performed live by Anderson on the opening evening of Adelaide Festival, Friday 1 March.
