 | Brown Council is the collaborative practice of four Sydney-based artists. Together they make video and performance works drawing on the lineages of both the visual and performing arts. Engaging with concepts such as spectacle and endurance, their works create a space for dialogue between 'liveness' and the performance trace or document.
