Across four physical platforms, Parallel Collisions presents 21 commissioned works by some of Australia’s leading artists, including Pat Brassington and Richard Bell. Curated by Natasha Bullock and Alexie Glass-Kantor the 2012 Adelaide Biennial explores the ways in which ideas emerge, converge and re-form through time. From a floating island of 2000 cut-glass objects to an explosive light installation that clocks in real time human births, deaths and dying stars, this Biennial considers the temporality of the present as it parallels and collides with the past.
