‘The Skywhales Across Australia project exists to bring people together, whether it is to celebrate the skywhales taking off, or help with putting them away, or just see them randomly as they fly overhead.’
Communities across Australia have the chance to see Skywhale take flight with Patricia Piccinini’s latest addition to the family, Skywhalepapa, during a national tour of these iconic works from the national collection.
After launching in Canberra in 2021, the hot air balloon duo take a family trip across the country, visiting most states and territories for the Skywhales Across Australia touring exhibition.
Skywhales Across Australia is a National Gallery Touring Exhibition and the third instalment of the Balnaves Contemporary Series. The tour has been made possible due to the generous support of the Naomi Milgrom Foundation and Visions of Australia.
