This seems to be the season of photographic exhibitions! This one is particularly spectacular and exciting.

It is called ‘Civilization – The Way we Live now’.

It is mounted and curated by the international Foundation for the Exhibition of Photography, an organization based in New York, Paris and Seoul. The NGV is a member.

The exhibition includes over 100 images that show the complexity of life in today’s urbanized world. I have the catalogue, and there are many stunning images in it.

It is at the NGV Federation Square. Entry is $18 for adults and $16 for seniors. We plan to meet at Federation Square in the café opposite the entrance to the NGV entrance at 10.30am.

All of you are welcome!
