From the black box to the white cube, from public parks to rock concerts and cinema scapes, this selection brings to Melbourne some of the most sophisticated, thought-provoking Geneva-based makers.

These breathtaking works all interrogate complex notions of identity, shared heritage, tradition and the desire to demarcate, possess, tame or exploit the environment and the self. Featuring works from Cindy Van Acker, Rudi Van Der Merwe, Perrine Valli & The Sunfast, Joszef Trefeli & Gabor Varga, and Victoria Chiu.
