Overview
On the last Friday of each month, the Museum of Contemporary Art transforms into a stylish, after-dark art experience. Supported by Audi and curated by prominent Australian artists, Artbar fills the four levels of MCA with pop-up exhibitions, live acts, music and chic Sydneysiders sipping sparkly beverages.
If you haven't already danced away in the foyer, this month's Artbar makes for an excellent debut. First, it's in the midst of Vivid, so you'll already be down in Circular Quay screaming at light installations. Second, the MCA facade features Mechanised Colour Assemblage, Perth artist Rebecca Baumann's audiovisual collaboration with French projectionists Danny Rose.
Baumann is the May curator for Artbar, so you'll be wholly in her creative world for the night, inside and out. As a clue for how this may look, Baumann's works heighten our experience of colour, transforming spaces with shimmering reflections, coloured smoke and raining glitter. Add an optional ticket bundle with MCA's Light Show exhibition, and you'll be aglow all night long.
