Have you ever seen a series of chairs based on manga-style comic books? A brightly-lit conveyor belt and a computerised scanner to place your objects on? Or even a rock made from hundreds of microphones? Well, look no further than the NGV’s all-encompassing exhibition Freedom of Movement: Contemporary Art and Design from the NGV Collection.
From December 2 to April 10, 2023, Freedom of Movement from the NGV is a free exhibition that offers a dynamic survey of the state collection across contemporary furniture, lighting, painting, film, sculpture and installation.
Discover more than 60 multimedia works of contemporary art and design by some of the most recognisable names working today, including Patricia Piccinini, KAWS, Nick Cave, Shilpa Gupta, Alicja Kwade, Alex Prager to Daniel Arsham.
Crossing culture, disciplines and traditional divides, the works in Freedom of Movement have been braided together from a selection of NGV Collection works to reveal the centrality of movement in contemporary art and design. Presented in four “movements”, each anchored by a major work, the exhibition invites audiences to consider concepts of movement, change, perception and transformation in contemporary life.
