Globally renowned artist Lawrence English’s sound-based installations investigate the politics of perception. Created from field recordings at Central Queensland sites of heavy industry, ‘The Lullaby of Industry’ traces a contrasting history of industrialisation and encourages audiences to interrogate the temporality of place, the shifting nature of environments we create, and to lean into the strange familiar that exists amidst the everyday.
