28/04/16

In the lead up to the 2016 Olympic Games, the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade is presenting Australia Now: the largest Australian cultural program ever presented in Latin America.

From 4-24 May, Phillip Adams and architect Matthew Bird in collaboration with Brazilian photographer Vitor Schietti are exhibiting their photo series Brasilia in Brasilia. This unsolicited urban performance project explores the architectural doctrines and exotic cultures of mid twentieth-century city-state utopia and Brazilian modernism. The iconic bulidings of architect Oscar Niemeyer and Lúcio Costa’s urban infrastructures serve as a backdrop for stunning photography of architectural and performative encounters.

The Brasilia series is also featured in Melbourne Art Trams as part of Melbourne Festival 2015. Use your Tramtracker app on your smartphone and find tram 3509 while you can as the Art Trams end their journey 30 April.
