  Jon Campbell

  As one of Australia's most exciting contemporary artists, Jon Campbell created Stacks On a massive assemblage of light boxes and banners, adorned with sewn and painted elements leading from the northern entrance to the majestic dome of the Royal Exhibition Building.

  The artwork was premiered at the 2010 Melbourne Art Fair and gifted by Melbourne Art Foundation to the Museum of Contemporary Art, Sydney.
