Patrick Pound | The Museum of Falling | City Gallery, Melbourne
Patrick Pound presents "The Museum of Falling" at City Gallery in Melbourne Australia from 30 September - 14 November 2024.
"The Museum of Falling" unpacks the material history of civic space and the all-too-human experience of navigating it. Presenting a tragi-comic parade of falling images and objects, the exhibition-cum-installation reanimates the city collection in amusing and telling ways.
