Overview
This winter, the Museum of Contemporary Art Australia is hosting a major exhibition by celebrated British artist and sculptor Cerith Wyn Evans, his first comprehensive showing of work in the Asia-Pacific.
Titled Cerith Wyn Evans .... in light of the visible, the exhibition transforms the MCA's galleries into a shifting, radiant landscape of light, sound and space that evolves with the natural light of Circular Quay.

Visitors will be able to walk through and experience the towering neon wall of F=O=U=N=T=A=I=N (2020), the suspended lights of Sydney Drift (2025), sonic installation Composition for 37 Flutes (2018), and site-specific works that react in real-time to the light and sound of Warrane (Sydney Harbour). It's a full sensory experience that invites you to wander around and find something unexpected around every corner.
There's also a stack of related events happening over the next few months, including improvised dance and music performances, walking tours through the city, exhibition tours, plus an early morning meditation and Tai Chi experience. The Museum is also open late until 9pm on Saturday June 14.
