An immersive art installation featuring the works of late British artist David Hockney is set to open at Sydney's Carriageworks in October 2026. The exhibition, titled 'Bigger & Closer (not smaller & further away)', will feature Hockney's paintings projected onto walls, accompanied by recordings of his voice from his early career. The installation, which premiered in cities such as London and Seoul, aims to engage viewers with Hockney's artistic philosophy through interactive light and sound elements. Hockney himself was initially hesitant about the concept but eventually supported the project. This exhibition follows another major Hockney show at the National Gallery of Australia, which opens in September 2026. The installation includes thematic sections exploring various aspects of Hockney's work, including music and visual techniques.
