THE city
(International)
Presented by Gertrude Contemporary
and Artsonje Centre in association with
Melbourne Festival
An international exhibition
co‑presented by galleries in
Melbourne and Seoul, City Within
the City investigates the urban
centre as a site for expression
and rebellion.
As the populations of the world’s great
metropolises expand, increasingly the urban
landscape is the one most of us call home.
Considering cities not as mere statistical entities,
this exhibition explores possibilities for creativity
and resistance.
City Within the City assembles a diverse range of
responses drawn from around the world: 17 works
by artists and collectives, drawing on architecture,
landscape, literature and cinema to create images
and video reflecting on the driving narratives of
life in the city.
Co-curated by Gertrude Contemporary and
Seoul’s Artsonje Centre, City Within the City is
a flagship cultural enterprise commissioned as
part of the diplomatic year of Australia – South
Korea Friendship. Having exhibited in Seoul
early in 2012, this ambitious project now
completes its bi‑national circuit at this year’s
Melbourne Festival.
