'Concrete Culture' presents a range of contemporary art projects occurring at the interface of art and architecture. The exhibition is the first stage of a wider research project that examines relationships between art and architecture in rapidly evolving cities, revealing how Asian and Australian art can engender community, regional and international dialogue. This first exhibition has been conceived as a collection of interventions and documentations by artists living and working in Australia and Asia whose practice explores intersections between public and private spaces.
