Sydney Jarrett

Sydney Jarrett is an artist working on Gadigal Land. His sculptural and performance-based practice explores re-compositions of state materialities and investigates relationships to authority, regulation, compliance, and public space. He is engaged in practices of loitering and gestures of refusal. Sydney’s practice is deeply concerned with the materiality and relational qualities of the objects he works with. He engages objects that carry associations of functional authority and subjects them to processes of re-composition to intervene with their intended use. These interventions aim to disrupt structural logic to falter systems of control and generate encounters of possibility.
