About the exhibition
Explore the interface between art, design and play.
Universal Everything's artworks activate movement, form and colour to create a world of hyperreal beings. Informed by experimentation and emerging technologies and projected larger than life, these impactful artworks are underpinned by a creative process that begins with simple hand-drawn sketches. In our world-premiere exhibition, these drawings are displayed alongside the artworks for the first time to reveal the traditional craft behind the cutting-edge technology.
Exhibition dates: 22 May – 29 September
Cost: $7 per student (teachers free with school group)
