Chris Bond is the inaugural winner of the BalletLab McMahon Contemporary Art Award 2017. Advised by the city’s most prominent curators of visual and performance art, BMCAA shifts away from the traditional art award and challenges visual artists to engage with new performative and interdisciplinary experimentation. The award celebrates those working at the cutting edge of artistic practices.
Chris’ exhibition Congress has been commissioned by BalletLab and comprises a reconstruction of imagined sculptural works by his alter Louise Bryce.
