Spectacle: The Music Video Exhibition

Overview

The music video is a wonderful place. Used well it can transform a song into a story. They have the ability to fall over the line into short films and are known to use insane sets and props as a backdrop. ACMI is celebrating everything about the music video in its exhibition Spectacle: The Music Video Exhibition where local and international acts will feature alongside a collection of installations, projections, sets and original props and costumes.

Spectacle is set to feature 350 works from some of the most innovative players in the genre, including Michel Gondry, who has made films for The Chemical Brothers and Daft Punk, Spike Jonze who worked with Bjork and Fatboy Slim and Mark Romanek who has worked with the likes of Lenny Kravitz and Jay Z. Australian artists also get a run including Temper Trap, Nick Cave and Kylie Minogue.

At the end of the day, the exhibition highlights that innovation, originality and genuine love of the game goes a long way when bringing sound and screen together.
