AC4CA – Orange Pathway is a painted ground plane artwork created by thirteen leading Australian and International Artists connected to the AC4CA collective. This 500m long walkable artwork spans the pathway between the two bridges (Old Traffic Bridge and Stirling Bridge). The work is commissioned by the Fremantle Biennale as part of the 2021 program titled CROSSING in partnership with the City of Fremantle and the Town of East Fremantle. Launched to coincide with the opening of the 2021 Biennale, the artwork is designed as a legacy artwork to stay in place permanently.

The Australian Centre for Concrete Art (AC4CA) was established by its Perth members in 2002 and was based on the ideals of Dutch De Stijl artist Theo van Doesburg and an interest in Minimalism and hard-edge geometric abstraction. The driving concept for the group is to transform outdoor community spaces with their striking site-specific non-representational works painted directly on urban walls, often with the help of friends and art students. Often the works are temporary and have since been painted over to make room for new projects by someone else in the group. It’s collegiate, open-ended and moves with the times and conversations around public art. A 500m long pathway linking the old traffic bridge to the Stirling bridge is painted by all thirteen member artists from the collective.
