"First time in Australia, first time in a National Gallery, first time with Ai Weiwei."

Answered by: Edo De Bastiani

Why are you coming to visit our fair country? We've been invited to play in Melbourne by NGV. First time in Australia, first time in a National Gallery, first time with Ai Weiwei. It is not just a visit but a very exciting experience.

Is this your first visit? Yes. We've been waiting to come for a long time. Really hope it's going to be the first of many. 

How long are you here for? We are going to stay in Melbourne for four days. We've heard so many beautiful things about this city and we hope we will have enough time to get its vibes.
