The Kaleidoscopic Turn

Overview

If you like your art vibrant, multisensory and immersive, you're going to get a real kick out of The Kaleidoscopic Turn. The NGV has scoured their archives, as well as acquiring numerous new pieces, to explore contemporary trends in art which play with colour, light, sound, movement and space. From Op Art to colourfield painting, the exhibition will include large installations, kinetic sculptures, video art, paintings and works on paper.

With an exhibition title like The Kaleidoscopic Turn, you can expect some pretty wild and wonderful things. The works will range from pieces from the 1960s to now, where artists have experimented with pattern, repetition, light, colour, movement and space as well as various optical and kinetic effects. While there's a large focus on contemporary Australian artists, the exhibition will feature works from international figures such as Olafur Eliasson, Bridget Riley, Martha Boto and Zilvinas Kempinas.
