Laneway Art 2011/12
The City of Sydney's Laneway Art Program has witnessed many changes in the last five years as Sydneysiders and visitors embrace the ever increasing reality of a city humming with the buzz of new art, new business and new life.
Always evolving, in early 2011 the City sought ideas from artists and curators in an open call for proposals for its latest Laneway Art program. After further development of ideas by a shortlist of artists and curators the City commissioned seven different projects by Australian and international artists and curators for this, the fifth instalment of Laneway Art.
For many of the artists in this year's program it is their first opportunity to work in Australia, and for some of the Australian artists, their first opportunity to work in the public domain. Australian curators living in San Francisco, Amanda Sharrad and Justine Topfer, have selected four artists (three from San Francisco) under the theme Urbanity (Re)engaged. These high profile artists are complemented by Isidro Blasco from New York and two talented groups from Sydney representing the work of young emerging video artists in innovative ways. We trust you enjoy exploring the City through this year's Laneway Art projects.

The laneway Art program would like to thank the Sebel Hotel for their support as well as GoGet and Longrain.
