From the democratisation of art to the promotion of non-western musical traditions, Grainger's ideas made him an outsider in his age. But it didn't stop there: a vegetarian and extreme fitness junkie, designer of multi-coloured costumes and supporter of 'sexual outsiders', it's no wonder that it took so long for the rest of the world to begin to get a handle on the composer.
Curators: Brian Allison, Astrid Krautschneider, Clare Williamson
Percy Grainger: The Accidental Futurist was presented as part of the University of Melbourne's Cultural Collisions, presented in association with Melbourne Festival, from 7 to 23 October 2016.
