Art is a time machine | Symposia Series
NGV International, Mungo National Park & La Trobe University
Curated by Jonathan Kimberley
A series of 6 symposia titled Art is a time machine introduced selected biennale artists, projects and the overall biennale program, as an durational conversation about diverse cultural conceptions of time; working between the virtual and the grounded; contemporary intercultural collaboration; and walking together as creative practice, in the context of global contemporaneity.
The Art is a time machine symposia series kicked off the biennale program in early April 2015 and culminated in Mildura during the Opening Long Weekend in October 2015.
