Live: An intimate video study of the art of performing

World Premiere

Jarvis Cocker  | Jim James (My Morning Jacket) | Peaches | Feist | Róisín Murphy |
Lisa Kekeula (The Bellrays) | Jimmy Little | Ron Peno | Sarah Blasko | Dan Kelly | Kim Salmon | Laura Jean | Gareth Liddiard (The Drones) | Warren Ellis | Clare Bowditch | Martha Wainwright | Juliette Lewis | Julian Hamilton (The Presets) | Rufus Wainwright | Kram (Spiderbait)

More than 20 of the world’s best singers and musicians are captured performing on film for this compelling, large-scale video installation.

Many celebrated performers no longer have an intimate connection to their audience. For Live, curator Jasmin Tarasin brings their intricate physical gestures to the forefront, bridging the gap between rock star and fan to give you a profound, larger-than-life front row experience.

The artists that have been selected all deliver their music with a certain duende, or authentic and heartfelt expressiveness. Each of them has been filmed performing a song of their choice in identical stark simplicity. No band, no staging, no light show – just their voice or instrument and the physical power of their delivery. Set on rotation, these projections will be seen side-by-side on four large-scale screens.
