Luminous
Overview
2015 is the UNESCO International Year of Light, and Sydney’s Museum of Contemporary Art is taking the opportunity to shine a little light on local artists harnessing the power of electromagnetic radiation in new and exciting ways with upcoming exhibition Luminous.
MCA chief curator Natasha Bullock is promising “shooting star spirits, geometric patterns of light and dark dancing on walls, ambient environments and infinity windows carved into architectural space”. Featuring a major new commission by Sydney-based Aboriginal artist Jonathan Jones (recipient of last year’s Kaldor Public Art Projects’ Your Very Good Idea) and an impressive lineup including Sandra Selig, Peter Kennedy, William Seeto and John Mawurndjul, Luminous is sure to bring a little light into your life as those famous Sydney days start to get a little darker.
