MCA Collection: New Acquisitions in Context
Art lovers should visit the MCA this summer for the chance to see a diverse new collection.
Overview
An exciting selection of newly acquired works by contemporary Australian artists will go on display this summer at the Museum of Contemporary Art Australia. From mid-December until the final week of February, you'll be able to see a collection of artworks by 28 local and international artists across mediums ranging from painting to photography to installation.
Curated by the MCA's Anna Davis and Megan Robson, New Acquisitions in Context 2013 celebrates the diversity of artistic practice, introducing gallery patrons to new works and allowing them to revisit some old favourites. A major theme is exploration of landscape in a variety of forms, be it real or imagined, suburban or sacred, and its manifestation within cultural and historical contexts.
Highlights include Imants Tillers’ 2011 work Tabula Rasa (for my father), Hayden Fowler’s New World Order (2013), Judith Wright’s Relative Conversations (2006), Khadim Ali’s The Haunted Lotus (2011-12) and Tracey Moffatt’s 2008 piece First Jobs (pictured).
