Patricia Piccinini has created a large-scale, site-specific installation We Travel Together for the Galway International Arts Festival, taking place from 15-28 July 2024.
Her previous Festival show in 2015 drew record crowds, with thousands expected to visit the current show over the next two weeks. Piccinini represented Australia at the 50th Venice Biennale in 2003 and in 2016 her exhibition ComCiência was named the most popular contemporary art exhibition in the world by The Art Newspaper.
Piccinini’s work examines the connections between science, nature, art and the care. Her sculptures are familiar yet fantastical, a possible future species from a strange new world, charming and slightly unsettling creatures and mutants who blur the boundary between people and the animals we share the world with.

Gow Langsford is proud to present Piccinini’s inaugural solo exhibition in Aotearoa We are nourished by the unknown, opening on 28th August 2024 at our Auckland City gallery.
