The Traveller | Experiencing Movement, Time & Place

The Traveller Experiencing Movement, Time & Place Works from the Lyon Collection Start: Thursday 17 March, 2016 End: Wednesday 15 June, 2016 Venue: Galleries 1, 2 & 3 Navigating our way through the world is the height of adventure, where the journey is often as important as the destination. Experience ideas about movement and passage in artworks by some of Australia’s most celebrated artists. Carefully selected from the Lyon Collection, this exhibition takes you on a journey through time, space and place – through the vast Australian outback, our urban and suburban landscape, and the virtual world. Features works by Patricia Piccinini, Matthew Sleeth, Callum Morton, Shaun Gladwell, Peter Atkins and Louise Forthun. The Lyon Collection is one of Australia’s largest and most significant collections of Australian contemporary art. The Collection includes more than forty five artists represented in depth, and offers insights into significant moments and shifts in Australian contemporary art practice and thinking from the early 1990s through to the first two decades of the new century. Established in 1990, the Collection has been developed by Corbett Lyon and Yueji Lyon over a 25 year period as a large, privately held collection. In 2012, the Lyons established a new public museum entity, the Lyon Foundation, to secure a permanent future home for the Collection. Many works from the Lyon Collection have now been gifted to the public Foundation which has a charter to promote Australian contemporary art and to preserve and exhibit the Lyon Collection. The Foundation is currently finalising plans for its new public museum building to be constructed in Cotham Road, Kew. The museum will open to the public six days each week, commencing in early 2018. In anticipation of the development of the new public museum building, the Town Hall Gallery is pleased to present these key works from this public Collection. Date | Time From: Thursday 17th of March 2016  To  Wednesday 15th of June 2016 Time: Tuesday - Friday - 10am to 6pm | Saturday - Sunday - 11am to 4pm
