“Full Throttle” at the National Gallery in Canberra brings together 60 artists and 200 works to explore Australia’s obsession with cars.

At last, an art exhibition to rev up petrolheads

Everybody has a car story says Nick Mitzevich, the director of the National Gallery in Canberra. “The car is such a connector. It’s not about just moving us … it’s a receptacle for playing out human experiences.”

And with that observation, Mitzevich promises a major automotive-themed summer art exhibition that will take attendees “on a journey through all aspects of the human experience”.
