The Whole is Greater than the Sum of Her Parts


  • National Gallery of Australia (map)

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.

The Whole is Greater than the Sum of Her Parts is generously supported by the National Gallery’s Learning & Digital Patron, Tim Fairfax AC.
