Overview

Melbourne will play host to the first Australian solo exhibition of acclaimed French artist and filmmaker Philippe Parreno. On display at ACMI from December through to mid-March, Philippe Parreno: Thenabouts will combine light, sound and sculptural elements as it weaves together more than two decades of the artist's remarkable filmic work, creating "an evolving cinematic experience" within the gallery. Moreover, the exhibition will be controlled by a live gallery technician, ensuring no two visits are exactly the same.

"ACMI is thrilled to be bringing the first major exhibition of Philippe Parreno's work to Australia," said ACMI CEO and Director, Katrina Sedgwick. "He is one of the most exciting artists in the world to be working with the moving image."

The free exhibition will be on display in ACMI Gallery One until March 13.
