Upcoming Exhibition
Arca Arcade: Round One
6 August to 31 October
Arca Arcade is a convergence of nostalgic technology and contemporary art.
Under the direction of designer Preston Khan McNeil, playable arcade machines become wall mounted installations; adorned by te ao Māori influences and styles of Aotearoa New Zealand's eminent artists.
Having toured across Aotearoa New Zealand and into regional Victoria, this special iteration of Arca Arcade at Carlisle St Art Space features guest local artist Jarra Karalinar Steel, expanding the narrative of cultural expression through games and draws attention to the vibrant game and screen industry in the City of Port Phillip.
