2008 Next Wave Festival
Showcasing over 400 artists in over 60 shows, the 2008 Next Wave Festival is set to present a two-week-long program of provocative new works from the most acclaimed young artists in Australia. Working across all artforms, including visual arts, performance, dance, new media, literature, hybrid projects, Next Wave continues to challenge artistic boundaries.
Bringing artists and audiences together under the theme Closer Together, the 2008 Next Wave Festival will explore new ideas of closeness and its conflicted nature: as a catalyst for connectedness, community and exchange, but also of claustrophobia, confrontation and invasion.
From artist collectives from around Australia taking over underground and hidden spaces at Federation Squ to projects in galleries, laneways, hotels, nightclubs and beyond, 2008 Next Wave Festival will present a glorious melding of questions, responses, challenges and reflections, information and entertainment.
Next Wave is Australia's leading festival for young artists and arts workers.
Established in 1984, Next Wave has remained at the forefront of presenting a broad range of contemporary art practices to a national audience. The Next Wave Festival will run in May 2008.
Next Wave is an innovative organisation that stands alone in its dedication to supporting young artists. With a consistently changing audience and artist make-up, the Next Wave Festival remains responsive to critical issues in contemporary culture. It is one of the few organisations in Australia that gives young people the opportunity to critique their culture, giving their ideas a public face and audible voice.
