Meet the artists bringing this year's Sugar Mountain to life:

Caleb Shea

The geometric sculptures of this Melbourne-based artist "celebrate a return to the sincerity and romance of the shape". Familiar forms abruptly shift from their expected paths and the two-dimensionality of their linear designs zigzag into a third dimension.

Elliott Routledge

Working across a wide range of scales, from small objects to entire buildings, Routledge's canon spans a vast spectrum while retaining one commonality - a virtuosic understanding of colour and pattern.

Karen Singh

Singh's vivid and vibrant work celebrates unexpected colour combinations and pattern repetition. Via a special Sugar Mountain app, festivalgoers will be able to use augmented reality to warp Singh's world around them.

MOMO

Famed for transforming the built environment, juxtaposing the brutally urban and the fantastically colourful, MOMO can be found in the heart of Melbourne's art precinct, creating one of Sugar Mountain's largest commissions to date.

March Studio

Rodney Eggleston and Anne-Laure Cavigneaux's award-winning architecture and interior design practice create dynamic, textured structures fusing sleek shapes and natural materials. Clients include cosmetics giant Aesop and Hollywood A-lister Lucy Liu.

Myriam Bleau

Fusing music and sculpture, composer, digital artist and performer Myriam Bleau toes the line between the ephemeral qualities of sound and the tactile attraction of materials exploring interactive technologies and human intervention.

Robyn Moody and Caroline Polachek

A cutting edge art-music mashup by Canadian visual artists Robyn Moody and New York-based musician Caroline Polachek, premiering at Sugar Mountain, Harp: Phase 1 uses interactive lasers as the strings of a phonetic harp.

Supergroup London

Morag Myerscough and Luke Morgan are the visionary heads of this punk-loving art collective. Punters flocking to Sugar Mountain will pass through their eye-popping gateway, complete with viewing deck and camera obscura, obvs!
