Taking advantage of the reopening of the Flinders Street Station ballroom and the corridors and rooms connecting to it, an installation of around 20 of Piccinini's distinctive works, some of them substantial ie occupying entire rooms.
It's good, of course - the art, the setting, and the interaction between them. A bit of a sentimental streak running through several of the pieces that I hadn't noticed in Piccinini before but in retrospect is pretty clear - and also not necessarily at odds with the ideas that she's working with, including the relationships between humans and the worlds we live in (ecological, technological, scientific, familial).
The descriptions and explanations provided by Piccinini (audio tour or in writing via app) were illuminating too.
