Exhibition: Destroy!

Have you ever wanted to sneak under the barrier in an art gallery and touch the sculptures and paintings? Or take it one step further and completely ruin the carefully constructed works? 

ArtPlay’s New Ideas Lab supports artists and children to work together to develop new arts experiences, and this year they are asking the question "can destruction ever be creative?".

Over four days with four professional artists, four artworks were destroyed, and you are invited to journey through the relics of the sculptures and paintings that have been destroyed and reimagined by children at ArtPlay.

Shown through the eyes of the children involved, this exhibition documents the creative process of destroying and remaking.

When: 10am - 4pm Wednesday - Sunday until March 31.
Where: ArtPlay, Birrarung Marr, Behind Fed Square

Cost: Free

Ages: 5 to 12 years. Each child must be accompanied by an adult.
