The second Triennial at the NGV opens on 19 December.
The NGV’s doors have been closed for quite some time now, but when they’re thrown back open next weekend on 19 December visitors are going to find a massive second installment of the NGV Triennial — the large-scale exhibition of international contemporary art, design and architecture.

This year’s Triennial has been constructed with four themes in mind — Illumination, Reflection, Conservation, and Speculation — and intends to offer a thought-provoking look at the world in its current state in addition to contributing to the global discourse regarding our future.
Featuring 86 works and projects by artists, designers and collectives from across the globe as well as Australia — including 34 never-before-seen, specially commissioned works — it is safe to say that the NGV International is going to be more amazing than usual. Some of the showcased works are from established and internationally recognised names, but there remains a strong contingent of emerging artists across multiple disciplines.
