New Acquisitions in Context
The MCA offers a unique insight into the ways in which this institution develops their collection, as well as the works themselves. A perfect way to celebrate their fifth year of the series.
Overview
Anyone who has tried to reconstruct the events of a foggy evening, only to discover some embarrassing actions on their part, knows this: when it comes to interpretation, context is all. This year, the MCA is extending a helping hand to those of us attempting to make sense of their new acquisitions. These new pieces will be presented in the context of the existing collection, including both local and international artworks. The result? A unique insight into the ways in which this institution develops their collection, as well as the works themselves, and a perfect way to celebrate the fifth year of their New Acquisitions series. Highlights include Sangeeta Sandrasegar's delicate organza works and Arlo Mountford's audio-visual reinterpretation of three sixteenth-century Flemish paintings (still pictured).
