Freedom of Movement

  • Free
  • Art

Crossing cultures, disciplines and traditional divides, Freedom of Movement: Contemporary Art and Design from the NGV Collection presents works bound together by their capacity to reveal the centrality of movement through the gestural, technological, and geographical, in contemporary art and design practice today.

With more than 60 works from the NGV Collection, the exhibition includes furniture, lighting, painting, film, sculpture and installation. The exhibition surveys NGV’s commitment to collecting new, ground-breaking contemporary art and design that explores, unpicks, critiques and toys with contemporary issues.

The artists and designers in this exhibition tell complex stories about art and design making. Presented in four ‘movements’, each anchored by major works, the exhibition invites audiences to consider the capacity of collections to tell us about movement, change, perception, and transformation in contemporary life.
