Rising Melbourne brings Flinders Street station’s forgotten ballroom back to life Photo @melbournewithkidz After being closed and hidden for decades, The mysterious Flinders Street Station ballroom (and its surrounding hidden rooms) are now open to the public to showcase A Miracle Constantly Repeated—an eco-system of hyper-real silicone sculptures, video, sound and light devised by Patricia Piccinini.  Photo @melbournewithkidz Piccinini has spent close to three decades exploring humanity’s relationship to technology and the environment. Her work has been exhibited at major Australian and international institutions and events including the Gallery of Modern Art, Brisbane; and the Vancouver and Venice biennales.  Photo @melbournewithkidz For her first extensive hometown show in almost 20 years, Australia’s pre-eminent visual artist will augment the ballroom’s architecture with enormous dioramas, sentient saplings, nurturing marine mammals and enormous life-sustaining foliage.
