‘SafARI’ was created in 2004 to provide international visitors to the ‘Biennale of Sydney’ an opportunity to experience alternative venues – the Artist Run Initiatives (ARIs), hence the name. Curated by Liz Nowell and Christiane Keys-Statham, ‘SafARI 2014’ comprises of two major exhibition components – ‘SafARI’ and ‘SafARI LIVE’.
‘SafARI’ will present the work of 14 emerging and unrepresented Australian artists, including three collaborations, in multiple venues ranging from artist run initiative galleries to public spaces. ‘SafARI LIVE’ will present the work of six Sydney-based performance artists who will stage live interventions throughout the exhibition period.
