From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Lauren Brincat (born 1980) is an Australian contemporary artist.

She works with multiple mediums including sculpture installations, moving image, and performance.[1] Collaboration with other artists and cross disciplinary practice is a notable feature of her artistic approach. Her installations often encourage audience interaction.[2]

Brincat's works are held in the multiple institutions including the Art Gallery of NSW, Museum of Contemporary Art Australia, and the Art Gallery of Western Australia. Brincat's work Salt lines: play it as it sounds was installed at the Carriageworks Arts Centre as part of the 2016 Sydney Bienalle.[3] In 2019 she was co-commissioned by the MCA and Landcom as part of the C3West program to create a living sculpture work titled The Plant Library.[4]

Brincat graduated from Sydney College of the Arts in 2006 with a Masters of Visual Arts.[1]
