Time – Rone Exhibition

For my birthday last week Hubby and I went to Time the Rone Exhibition at Flinders Street Station. Rone is a street artist and creates the most amazing multi-sensory installations featuring his signature female muses. This is the third Rone exhibition we have been to, and we have loved all of them. Each has its theme. Time explores mid-century Melbourne. Each room on the third floor of the station depicts an aspect of working-class Melbourne in intricate detail. There is always so much to look at his exhibitions, and even the windows in the hallway were plastered with newspapers from the period. Everything is carefully selected and arranged to achieve a sense of abandonment and decay.

  1. I LOVE immersive art installations like this!

  2. Looks like an interesting exhibit. It looks pretty empty – were there a lot of other people there? It looks like it’s probably best with a lot of empty space to really appreciate the huge scale of the art.

    1. There are limited-timed tickets. I had 11 am tickets. I think there were probably 50 people in the queue ahead of us and probably the same behind for that time slot, and then they stagger letting you in. So we started with a group of about ten other people. People are generally pretty good, standing back to let others get a clear shot. I sometimes waited for people to finish looking at something so I could get a photo without anyone in it.

  3. Wow, very intriguing.
