Michael Jackson: Prodigy to Superstar
Pages from the TIME magazine Special Tribute Edition
Red Room, Ground Level, Customs House
29 August – 27 September 2009

TIME Australia magazine and Customs House have partnered to produce a photographic and multimedia exhibition that pays tribute to Michael Jackson’s life and legacy. The exhibition will host a special invite only opening night on Thursday September 3, 2009. 

The exhibition is held for 29 days, coinciding with what would have been Michael Jackson’s 51^st birthday on Saturday, August 29 and his burial day which is scheduled for Thursday, September 3. Free of charge and open to the public, all are welcome to both commemorate his death and celebrate his life.

Images from TIME’s Special Commemorative Edition, which was editorially created within 36 hours of his death, are the main showcase in Red Room, Customs House. These poignant and compelling images trace the timeline of a superior entertainer— from child prodigy to international superstar— and are coupled with the text of TIME writers and contributors as well as quotes from those near and dear to him.

To celebrate the life and legacy of a truly inspirational entertainer, sound, light and moving images are employed in a multimedia display to accompany the framed exhibition pieces. DVD anthologies will play and computer kiosks will allow guests to visit TIME.com and see their vast archive of Michael Jackson articles, videos and much more.
