"Playful, edgy, clever and satirical, the works in Space Invaders have appeared in city streets around Australia. Street art has significantly altered Australian visual culture, especially over the past decade. It has announced the arrival of a new generation of contemporary artists.
The works are from the Gallery’s growing collection of street art—the only one of its kind in an Australian public gallery."
