Play and create in The Whole is Greater than the Sum of Her Parts, a dedicated interactive space created by artist Sanné Mestrom.
Building on artistic dialogues initiated by the exhibition Cézanne to Giacometti, Mestrom transforms abstract cubist forms into a playable adventure.
Immerse yourself in the geometry of Mestrom's sculpture with your whole body. Touch bronze reliefs that blur the boundary between two- and three-dimensional artmaking. Challenge your perception of space through drawing systems that invite new perspectives.
Concluding the exhibition experience, this hands-on installation invites audiences of all ages to engage, create and connect.
Children must be supervised by an adult.
The Whole is Greater than the Sum of Her Parts is generously supported by the National Gallery's Learning &Digital Patron, Tim Fairfax AC.
