BABY LOVE – CALL FOR AUSTRALIA’S FAVOURITE LOVE SONGS Be part of Experimenta Playground even before the exhibition opens!

Six giant teacups, plastic babies and love songs like Marilyn Monroe’s I Wanna Be Loved by You are all part of a playful and innovative public artwork that will be installed in the forecourt of the Arts Centre’s BlackBox venue. The installation is part of Experimenta Playground: International Biennial of Media Arts. This is the first time that Baby Love, by international artist Shu Lea Cheang, will be shown in Australia giving Melbourne audiences the unique opportunity to experience the captivating interactive sculpture.

The artist invites Australians to visit the Baby Love website to upload their favourite love songs. http://www.babylove.biz. The uploaded songs will be streamed to the artwork at the Arts Centre, BlackBox, where visitors to the exhibition can play the songs as they ride in the teacups.
