Crossing cultures, disciplines, and traditional divides, Freedom of Movement presents a selection of more than sixty works from the NGV Collection bound together by ideas of movement – physical, technological, or geographical. From an amorphous floating mass made from hundreds of black microphones to a moving conveyor belt with a computerised scanner, the exhibition invites audiences to contemplate concepts of movement, change, perception, and transformation in contemporary life.
Artists include Patricia Piccinini, KAWS, nendo, Paola Pivi, Nick Cave, Rafael Lozano-Hemmer, Shilpa Gupta, and Alicja Kwade, to name a few.
