SYDNEY CONTEMPORARY ART FAIR

3 - 6 September, 2026

Carriageworks

GRACE LILIAN LEE
DANIE MELLER

GEORGE COOLEY

MARCUS CAMPHOO

For Sydney Contemporary CASSANDRA BIRD presented an ambitious installation of new dynamic artworks by GRACE LILLIAN LEE, DANIE MELLOR, GEORGE COOLEY and MARCUS CAMPHOO, four distinctive contemporary Australian artists whose practices offer powerful and deeply personal perspectives on landscape, culture and Country.

Bringing together painting, sculpture and mixed media, the presentation explores the enduring relationships between people, place, memory and ancestral knowledge. Across a vibrant interplay of colour, texture, storytelling and sculptural form, the artists consider Country not simply as landscape, but as a living presence: a site of cultural continuity, identity, transformation and belonging.

Each artist brings a singular visual language to the presentation, creating an exciting dialogue between material experimentation and cultural storytelling. Together, the works celebrate the strength, diversity and vitality of contemporary First Nations art, while revealing the many ways Country can be remembered, embodied and reimagined.

INSTALLATION CONTEMPORARY

GRACE LILLIAN LEE
INSTALLATIONS AT SYDNEY CONTEMPORARY
CASSANDRA BIRD was proud to have gallery artist Grace Lillian Lee selected for Installations at the landmark 10th edition of Sydney Contemporary, held at Carriageworks, Redfern.

Grace Lillian Lee presented the major sculptural installation Suggoo Pennise (2021), created in collaboration with Dr Ken Thaiday Snr and Allan George Lee. Drawing upon Torres Strait Islander cultural knowledge, dance and sculptural traditions, the installation explored lineage, connection and the intergenerational transmission of culture.

We were delighted to see Grace Lillian Lee recognised within this significant curated program.
REMY FAINT
INSTALLATIONS AT SYDNEY CONTEMPORARY
CASSANDRA BIRD was proud to have gallery artists Remy Faint selected for Installations at the landmark 10th edition of Sydney Contemporary, held at Carriageworks, Redfern.

Curated by José Da Silva, Director of UNSW Galleries, Installation Contemporary presented ambitious, large-scale works by leading contemporary artists from across Australia. The inclusion of Faint and Lee offered each artist an expanded platform to engage with architecture, materiality, cultural memory and place beyond the traditional art fair booth.

Remy Faint’s installation extended his ongoing exploration of language, movement, memory and cross-cultural exchange. Through his distinctive material vocabulary, Faint considers how histories are carried, translated and transformed across time and place.

We were delighted to see both artists recognised within this significant curated program.
