Exhibition Opening: Lucienne Rickard: Wreck

The epic drawing and erasure performance Wreck is the most ambitious project of Lucienne Rickard’s 23-year career. Rickard has a long relationship with Shearwaters, a group of bird species under threat. In recent years she has been photographing the dead bodies washed up on the shores of Tasmania. Wreck can be understood as a memorial to the endangered Shearwaters. Rickard lovingly and meticulously draws Shearwaters and then responding to the horror of their current situation, erases the drawings.

Opening Event: 
Thursday 8 May 5PM – 7PM

Exhibition: 
9 May - 24 May

Bookings not required.
12PM - 5PM Tuesday to Saturday.

PARKING

The City of Melbourne has recently changed the parking restrictions around the Southbank Campus. Parking control hours are now expanded to 7am–10pm, seven days per week, and are capped at three hours. A $2-per-hour fee after 7pm is also now in place. There is no change to the $4-per-hour peak rate between 7am–7pm. Parking inspectors are regularly in the area fining drivers who overstay their meter, so we encourage everyone to be aware and avoid an expensive fine. More information.
