A Miracle Constantly Repeated, by Patricia Piccinini

A MF Cultural Life event

Hosted by:
Pamela Creed

July 12, 2021 @ 5:20 pm - 6:30 pm

$38

After holding Melbourne’s imagination for decades, the mysterious Flinders Street Station ballroom (and its surrounding hidden rooms) will open to the public to become A Miracle Constantly Repeated, – an ecosystem of hyper-real silicon sculptures, video, sound and light devised by Patricia Piccinini.

Piccinini has spent close to three decades exploring humanity’s relationship to technology and the environment. Her work has been exhibited at major Australian and international institutions and events including the Gallery of Modern Art, Brisbane; and the Vancouver and Venice biennales.

For her first extensive hometown show in almost 20 years, Australia’s pre-eminent visual artist will augment the ballroom’s architecture with enormous dioramas, sentient saplings, nurturing marine mammals and enormous life-sustaining foliage.

Bring your phone and headphones and listen the the talk by Patricia as your tour through the exhibition.
