Melbourne Art Foundation Artist Commission


The Melbourne Art Fair opens next week. One of the highlights will be the Melbourne Art Foundation 2010 Commission, which has gone to Jon Campbell for Stacks On. Campbell's winning work is a collection of stacked light boxes featuring different signage and 12 fabric banners designed to hang from the ceiling under the dome of the exhibition building. The Foundation will gift the work to an Australian public art institution and the recipient will be revealed during the fair.
