Event Description

Born To Concrete

The Heide Collection

16 April - 25 September 2011

Venue: Heide II

Curator: Katarina Paseta and Linda Short

Presenting works from Heide’s Collection and Concrete Poetry Archive, this exhibition examines the emergence of Concrete Poetry in Australia in the mid-1960s and its subsequent developments. Concrete Poetry is a cross pollination between art and literature that takes many forms including typed words on a page, lettraset, printmaking, sculpture, found objects, photography and more.

Heide is open daily 10am-5pm. Closed Mondays
