RELICS: A New World Rises, Melbourne Museum
LEGO Masters winners bring their retrofuturistic exhibition to Melbourne Museum this September harbouring miniature civilizations which have sprung up inside forgotten vintage treasures, Relics.
RELICS: A New World Rises
LEGO Masters Jackson Harvey and Alex Towler’s bring their epic exhibition RELICS: A New World Rises to Melbourne Museum.
Following their victory on Channel 9’s LEGO Masters Series 2, the Perth duo is excited to bring their acclaimed art style across the country to families, art lovers and LEGO-fans.
Set in a future long after humanity’s reign, RELICS tells the story of a world where LEGO minifigures have risen from the debris to craft intricate civilisations in discarded human artefacts, each one inspired by the object they now call home.
RELICS: A New World Rises invites audiences of all ages on a journey of discovery, where stories of humanity are built through objects of play and nostalgia.
Featuring eye-opening LEGO creations nestled inside discarded vintage treasures, RELICS prompts an examination of our world through storytelling and gives objects that may be considered rubbish a whole new life.
“The LEGO minifigs are the plastic puppets of our stories, and we’ve had so much fun constructing hundreds of narratives with them. We hope people are able to find these stories, and create some of their own,” said Jackson Harvey. “RELICS is a very weird love child between an antique shop, the LEGO movie and Blade Runner.”
Thinking far beyond the bricks, Jackson Harvey & Alex Towler draw on their masterful design, engineering, and visual art skills to weave fascinating narratives that reflect our world in a new light and engage with audiences’ understanding of expression, sustainability and connection.
Experience an interactive, engaging, and inspiring exhibition like never before, where each detailed environment provides a stage for rich storytelling that unveils more of the narrative the longer you look.
