Draw the line will present the process of architectural design through the material of the Federation Square NGV archive together with LAB architecture studio’s subsequent project. This exhibition will explain how architects think about their designs and how concepts become realised as architecture. The exhibition will consist of conceptual material, working drawings and models.

The Cicely and Colin Rigg Contemporary Design Award is a generous legacy of the late Colin Rigg (1895–1982), a former Secretary of the Felton Bequests’ Committee. This ‘Award of Excellence’ focuses on contemporary design practice in the state of Victoria and is a reflection of the NGV ’s continuing support for and commitment to contemporary design.

The first John Brack retrospective to be held in more than twenty years, this exhibition will survey the artist’s complete oeuvre, incorporating paintings and works on paper from all of his major series and including pictures such as The bar 1954 and Collins St., 5 p.m. 1955, now regarded as some of the most iconic images of 20th century Australian art.
