SPEED: The Fast and The Curious

SPEED: The Fast and The Curious featured local, national and international contemporary artists each whom had interpreted fast moving machines across painting, sculpture, photography and more.

From Albury's long tradition of motorised innovation to the future of car culture, the exhibition SPEED along with its Festival of Fast, offered an exhilarating ride of art, fun and games.

SPEED featured commissioned works by leading Australian artists, interactive exhibits and works loaned from the Museum of Contemporary Art (Sydney) White Rabbit Gallery (Sydney), the Laverty Collection and private owners.

Albury has had a strong history of inventive transport. As the home of Australia's last manufactured gearbox transmissions, the location of Brad Jones V8 racing and the birthplace of Robbins & Porter's monoplane, Albury has been central to new technology and thinking in Australia.

SPEED celebrated this pioneering past while also looking ahead to the amazing new technology to come.
