Opening in March, Dorothy Cross will be exhibiting work as part of the 25th Biennale of Sydney, entitled Rememory.

A means of revisiting, reconstructing, and reclaiming histories that have been erased or repressed, Rememory signifies the intersection of memory and history, where recollection becomes an act of reassembling fragments of the past—whether personal, familial, or collective.

The Biennale of Sydney is one of the leading international contemporary art events. It plays an indispensable role in Australia’s engagement with the world, and a meaningful role in the life of the nation.

Since its inception in 1973, the Biennale of Sydney has provided a platform for art and ideas, showcasing the work of 2,400 artists from more than 130 countries. Today it is considered one of the leading international contemporary art events, recognised for commissioning and presenting innovative, thought-provoking art from Australia and around the globe.

Dorothy Cross was born in Cork in 1956, and lives in Connemara on the west coast of Ireland. Her practice ranges from object to opera: working with sculpture, photography and video. The work moves from gallery and museum to external projects that can take years to make and may only exist for a short time.
