MCA Artbar Curated by Blak Douglas
Cap off 2015 with one last trip to ARTBAR.
Overview
It's been quite a year of events for the MCA, what with their involvement with Vivid, their Future Classic summer Sunday sessions and yoga on the roof. But for the year's last instalment of MCA ARTBAR driven by Audi, the MCA is going all out with indigenous artist Adam Hill (a.k.a. Blak Douglas) curating the 2015 finale.
In what have been some of our favourite nights this year, the MCA's monthly parties are an always-excellent after-dark extravaganza of art, music, food and booze. A perfect combination, really. November's Blak Douglas-directed event — aptly named Blakout — will include performances by Ursula Yovich, Leah Flanagan, MC Boomali and the Rising Sun Trio, interactive artworks by Aroha Groves and Adam Gezcy, and a slam poetry workshop taken by Luka Lesson. If you want to partake in some discussion, there'll be a special BlakChat roundtable, along with a few film screenings for those who want to simply wine and watch. We even hear that some pole dancing will be going down.
Of course, a ticket gets you entry into the MCA so you can see their current exhibitions — it'll be your last chance to see Primavera 2015 and Matthys Gerber, both closing December 6 — in a different light, after the sun goes down. But the best place to be is the rooftop bar, where DJ Black President (a.k.a. Leo Tanoi) will be shooting vibes until 11pm.
