In 2006 Melbourne Art Foundation commissioned New Zealand artist Michael Parekowhai to create Cosmo, an 8 x 5 metre monumental inflatable rabbit sculpture.
Positioned under the dome of the Royal Exhibition Building during the Fair, the Foundation subsequently gifted the work to the National Gallery of Victoria, Melbourne.

One of the most exciting aspects of Melbourne Art Fair, since 2002, has been the Project Rooms - where non-commercial spaces and unrepresented artists are invited to exhibit.
From obscure and emerging to more prominent and mainstream artists - there is a real wow factor to this event.
