SUMMER ART GUIDE

By Benjamen Judd

The Museum of Contemporary Art in Sydney (MCA) has opened their latest exhibition for the summer holidays and we are more than impressed with the selection.

Including works from over 28 emerging and established artists from across the country, New Acquisitions in Context 2013 is a vibrant exhibition showing recently acquired pieces in dialogue with artworks from the JW Power and MCA Collections.

Celebrating the diversity of art making in Australia, New Acquisitions in Context 2013 features a range of media from painting and photography through to installation and the moving image and draws together multiple themes and ideas through a collection of very different artworks.

Investigate dream states, nightmares and the influence of Surrealism with works by Nicholas Folland, Peter Booth and Louise Weaver. Explore landscape in its various forms, real and imagined, sacred and suburban in works by Tracey Moffatt, Judith Wright, Imants Tillers, Simryn Gill, Fiona Lowry and Shaun Gladwell and see works about light by artists Stephen Birch and Emma White.

New Acquisitions in Context 2013 is now showing at the MCA in Sydney until February 2014. Entry is Free.
