The NGV Studio will be transformed into a fully functioning recording studio where a specially formed group of Melbourne musicians, named Batman Park, will collaborate on the writing, recording and production of an EP. Batman Park is led by Alex Badham and features musicians including Jess Cornelius (Teeth & Tongue), Evelyn Morris (Pikelet), Thomas Mendelovits (Milk Teddy), Lachlan Denton (Ocean Party) and Pascal Barbare (Pascal Barbare).
In conjunction with the recording studio, there will be an exhibition focusing on the recent history of Melbourne’s independent music scene, including documentary photography and photographic essays alongside a selection of recent vinyl cover art, and projection of film clips and live footage provided by independent record labels, musicians and artists.
