HEAP
HEAP is a monumental new artwork transforming the Carriageworks foyer into a vast landscape of earth, excavation and discovery.
Part installation, part archaeological dig, HEAP invites audiences to step barefoot into the dirt, take up a trowel and begin searching. Buried beneath the surface are dangerous ideas concealed as artworks: new commissions from eight leading Australian artists waiting to be unearthed.
As each work emerges from the ground it becomes a shared act of discovery, open for all to examine, question and confront.
