Provoking and inspiring, Melbourne Festival seeks
to connect art forms, people and ideas. At the heart
of Melbourne’s culture of creativity, we curate
unique experiences that bring people together and
break new ground in culture and the arts.
Ayoung Kim’s 2016 solo exhibition at Palais de
Tokyo in Paris is sewn from sources as varied
as the Epic of Gilgamesh, the story of Noah’s Ark
and the tragic capsizing of the Korean ferry
Sewol in 2014. Melbourne Festival is one of Australia’s leading
international arts festivals and has an outstanding
reputation for presenting unique international and
Australian events in the fields of dance, theatre,
music, visual arts, multimedia, free and outdoor
events over three weeks each October.

This Melbourne Festival commission furthers
Ayoung Kim’s signature fascination with the
invisible forces that underride the world, here
imagining subterranean geologies as living beings
and underground stories pushing and pulling
beneath the ground on which we stand.
