SUMMARY:And Still I Rise
DESCRIPTION:With a name taken from Maya Angelou’s famous book of poems\, this timely exhibition focuses on a culturally diverse group of women artists living in Australia\, many of whom are internationally recognised\, if less familiar at home. \nA celebration of women’s art practice\, the exhibition foregrounds materiality through a wide variety of media\, including textiles\, painting\, metalwork\, installation and video. \nConceptually challenging\, physically intricate and philosophically layered\, these personal and labour-intensive works prompt a reconsideration of contemporary Australian art.

SUMMARY:Mike Hewson: The Key’s Under the Mat
DESCRIPTION:Australia’s most dramatic exhibition space is completely transformed\, as artist Mike Hewson brings his unique and boundary-testing brand of social sculpture to the Nelson Packer Tank. \nRenowned for award-winning public projects that are at once artworks\, play areas\, and places to be\, Hewson is reimagining the Tank as a combined park\, playground\, construction site\, and commons – an anarchic and generous sculptural neighbourhood where visitors can meet\, dwell\, play\, make\, perform\, explore and more. \nDeveloped in the artist’s dynamic Sydney workshop and constructed from thousands of salvaged objects and materials\, Hewson’s project is an experiment in participation\, a spirited act of reclamation and regeneration\, a radical rework of the legacies of modern sculpture\, and a provocation about what a truly welcoming art museum might look like. \nFor Hewson\, whose sculptural practice was catalysed by the experience of the Christchurch earthquakes\, the artist is a host who welcomes guests to use the artwork as their own – ‘the key’s under the mat\, make yourself at home’.

SUMMARY:Raquel Caballero
DESCRIPTION:Raquel Caballero is a Sydney artist who celebrates craft as a skilled art. Using papier-mâché\, textiles and recycled materials\, Caballero creates imagined worlds in the form of handmade installations and maximalist sets.

SUMMARY:Cerith Wyn Evans .... in light of the visible
DESCRIPTION:Cerith Wyn Evans creates epic contemporary environments of light and sound in our major winter exhibition.\nConceived as if the audience were strolling through a garden\, the exhibition will invite visitors to meditate and contemplate their own passage through space and time. Monumental light sculptures will occupy the MCA’s double-height exhibition galleries\, including F=O=U=N=T=A=I=N (2020)\, an architectural wall of white neon three metres tall and ten metres wide which audiences are welcome to walk around and through.​ \nThe exhibition includes a significant selection of major works\, most of which have never been seen before in Australia. Highlights include Composition for 37 Flutes (2018)\, a sculpture in which 37 glass pipes ‘inhale’ and breathe sound into the gallery\, and the Neon Forms (After Noh) series\, large-scale three-dimensional ‘drawings in space’ using neon light. Inspired by the choreography of traditional Japanese Noh theatre\, this series maps the notation of Noh movements\, as gestures suspended in space. Energetic and fluid\, the works engage and transform the viewer’s perception.

SUMMARY:Warraba Weatherall: Shadow and Substance
DESCRIPTION:The first solo museum exhibition by Warraba Weatherall.\nKamilaroi artist Warraba Weatherall (b. 1987\, Toowoomba\, Queensland) considers how knowledge about Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and culture is collected and conveyed by institutions. \nThroughout the 19th and into the 20th centuries\, Aboriginal peoples were subjected to widespread and systematic colonial policies of surveillance and scientific study. Academics\, anthropologists\, ethnologists\, government officials\, medical officers and pastoralists collected and stored information about Aboriginal peoples and cultures without their permission. Underpinned by scientific racism and ethnographic research\, Indigenous materials and objects were removed from Country as part of large-scale acquisition programs for museums\, private collections and universities. \nShadow and Substance\, Weatherall’s first solo museum exhibition\, features installation\, sculpture and video works which draw attention to the ethics of how Indigenous property\, cultural information and materials have been acquired and displayed. The artist considers the legacy of such practices and critiques narratives that continue to be found within archival and museum collections. \nBy foregrounding individual and community histories\, including his own family’s experience\, Weatherall highlights the gaps and biases of the colonial record\, as well as its ongoing influence. \nThe exhibition premieres a number of new artworks\, including Trace (2025)\, a major new co-commission between the MCA and the Hawai’i Triennial 2025\, and the two-channel video installation\, Dialectic (2025).

SUMMARY:Angelica Mesiti: The Rites of When
DESCRIPTION:A rich visual and sonic experience\, Angelica Mesiti: The Rites of When is a large-scale video and sound installation that reimagines collective and communal rituals in relation to seasonal cycles\, at a time of environmental uncertainty and flux. \nMesiti adapts choreography\, vocal choruses\, instrumentation and collective sound-making to re-examine activities familiar to communities who have deep bonds with seasonal rhythms. Ecstatic celebrations associated with specific moments in the calendar – notably mid-winter solstice carnivals and mid-summer harvest festivals – are played out across seven monolithic screens\, offering a portal into a realm alongside past and present: an imagined alternative.

SUMMARY:Hiroshi Sugimoto: Time Machine
DESCRIPTION:Hiroshi Sugimoto: Time Machine is the largest exhibition to date of the internationally renowned artist’s work. Featuring key works from all of the artist’s major photographic series\, this survey highlights Sugimoto’s philosophical yet playful inquiry into our understanding of time and memory\, and photography’s ability to both document and invent. \nEmploying a large-format camera and mixing his own darkroom chemicals\, Sugimoto has often revisited ideas and practices from 19th-century photography\, capturing subjects such as dioramas\, wax figures and architecture. His work has stretched and rearranged concepts of time\, space and light that are integral to the medium.

SUMMARY:Primavera:  Young Australian Artists
DESCRIPTION:Primavera: Young Australian Artists is the Museum of Contemporary Art Australia’s annual exhibition showcasing the work of Australian artists aged 35 years and under. The exhibition was initiated in 1992 by the MCA in collaboration with Dr Edward Jackson AM and Mrs Cynthia Jackson AM\, in memory of their talented and creative daughter Belinda. \nSince its inception\, the exhibition has celebrated the achievements of early-career Australian artists and fulfilled an important role in bringing younger artists to the attention of a wide audience. Each year the Primavera curator undertakes extensive research to select participants for the exhibition\, travelling across the country to meet young artists. \nIn its 32nd year\, Primavera 2023: Young Australian Artists is guest curated by Sydney-based artist and curator\, Talia Smith. The exhibition considers the idea of the ‘collective body’ and the ways in which communities and growing movements attempt to question\, challenge and maneuver through failing societal structures. The six participating artists – Tiyan Baker (NSW)\, Christopher Bassi (QLD)\, Moorina Bonini (VIC)\, Nikki Lam (VIC)\, Sarah Poulgrain (QLD)\, and Truc Truong (SA) – investigate themes of protest\, perseverance\, and reimagining through works of various media\, including installation\, video\, painting\, sculpture\, and text.

SUMMARY:Emily Hunt
DESCRIPTION:Berlin-based Australian artist Emily Hunt draws inspiration from the extraordinary history of the occult and spiritualism in Australia. \nIn this exhibition\, Hunt presents six handmade marionettes\, which incorporate sculpture\, ceramics\, costume\, woodwork\, silk painting and printing on fabric. Each is modelled on an esoteric individual whose spiritual convictions defied social conventions\, including artist Rosaleen Norton (1917–1979)\, art critic James Smith (1820–1910) and violinist Leila Waddell (1880–1932). These characters’ stories will be recounted by Hunt in a series of ‘puppet show’ performances\, held during the exhibition period\, which collapse distinctions between reality and fantasy\, truth and fiction\, life and death. \nThe themes of death and the afterlife are augmented by a psychedelic watercolour drawing based on the design of a ouija board\, and painted murals\, glazed ceramics and etchings depicting ‘psychic places’ in Sydney\, haunted by history and memory.

SUMMARY:24th Biennale of Sydney - Ten Thousand Suns
DESCRIPTION:Ten Thousand Suns departs from an acknowledgement of a multiplicity of perspectives\, cosmologies\, and ways of life that have always woven together the world under the sun. This central life-giving body\, like the world it shines light upon\, has otherwise been known under thousands of different words in as many languages. But many of these cultural viewpoints have in fact not relied on a vision of a single sun. \nA multiplicity of suns conveys ambiguous images. It evokes a scorching world\, both in several cosmological visions and very much in our moment of climate emergency. But it also conveys the joy of cultural multiplicities affirmed\, of First Nations understandings of the cosmos brought to the fore\, and of carnivals as forms of resistance in contexts that have surpassed colonial oppression. The 24th Biennale of Sydney works with these different layers of meaning\, acknowledging the deep ecological crises derived from colonial and capitalist exploitation while refusing to concede to an apocalyptic vision of the future. This politics of doom are seen as an attempt by the same forces that have caused these multiple crises to control possibilities to overcome them. The 24th Biennale of Sydney proposes instead solar and radiant forms of resistance that affirm collective possibilities around a future that is not only possible\, but necessary to be lived in joy and plenitude\, produced in common and shared widely. \nAround this central theme and ethos\, the 24th Biennale of Sydney goes deeper into different connected threads. One of them is the history and the imagination around the atomic era\, as a concentrated version of the history of climate alteration through human exploitation\, but also as a specific history that places Australia at the core of the atomic era which has largely been staged in the broader Pacific region. Another thread follows a lineage of largely repressed or misconstrued moments that have been crucial in the history of Australia and have involved relations with the Muslim world. These include the complex exchanges between First Nations and Muslim Makassars over many centuries; the history of cameleers from across South and West Asia\, trafficked to the country in the 19th century and later exiled due to the introduction of the White Australia policy; the formation of an Australian national identity as a consequence to the loss at Gallipoli in the First World War\, orchestrated from London as an anti-jihad preventive campaign; Australia’s history of racist anti-migration policies\, as well as the broader role that Islamophobia plays in processes of othering in contemporary life in the country.
