PUNK, ART AND AFTER

Wednesday, February 24th, 2010

Melbourne><Brisbane: punk, art and after  is an exhibition that illustrates the connection between the social and political conditions of the 1970s and early 80s in Melbourne and Brisbane, and the music and art emerging out of the two cities at that time.

With a particular focus on punk music, the exhibition compares and contrasts the punk bands emerging out of the two cities, such as The Lunatic Fringe and The Go-Betweens, and traces their influence on punk music in Australia since then.

While this exhibition does focus on the punk music genre, art, photography and history enthusiasts will also enjoy this fascinating exhibition.

Where: Ian Potter Museum of Art, University of Melbourne

When:  February 24 – May 16
