SUMMARY:Ron Mueck
DESCRIPTION:Since first revitalising figurative sculpture in the late 1990s with his exquisitely crafted realism\, Ron Mueck continues his profound observation of human experiences and emotions. \nHis captivating figures\, scaled from the minute to the monumental\, embody themes such as birth and death\, alienation and togetherness\, tenderly inviting us to explore our relationship with the world. \nThis is the largest exhibition by the artist ever to be presented in Australia\, and comprises sculptures drawn from across the globe\, most never before seen in this country.

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:Dangerously Modern: Australian Women Artists in Europe 1890–1940
DESCRIPTION:At the turn of the 20th century\, an unprecedented wave of women artists prevailed against social constraints and left Australia to pursue international professional careers. This is the first major exhibition to focus on the vital role of these Australian women in the emergence of international modernism. \nFeaturing celebrated and rediscovered paintings\, prints\, drawings\, sculpture and ceramics\, Dangerously Modern: Australian Women Artists in Europe 1890–1940 reclaims the place of these pivotal Australian women artists\, recognising their contribution to the development of European art. They brought new ideas back to Australia and played an integral\, often unrecognised role in modernising our nation. \nWith more than 200 works\, Dangerously Modern expands our understanding of modern art movements\, including realism\, impressionism\, post-impressionism\, cubism and abstraction.  The works in this show challenge preexisting notions of ambition and success\, and explore colour\, light\, form and movement.

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. Inspired by folk art and outsider cultures\, her making is of the kind used in serious play. \nIn a new commission made especially for children (and curious adults)\, Caballero invites visitors to explore a magical world of her own making. Visitors will see\, touch\, play and make – and contribute to a major artwork that will come to life over the exhibition’s duration.

SUMMARY:Janet Dawson: Faraway\, So Close
DESCRIPTION:Janet Dawson (born 1935) is one of Australia’s pre-eminent artists. Throughout a distinguished career spanning over seven decades of practice\, she remains an artist who has refused to be bound by rules. \nA pioneer of both abstraction and realism in Australian art\, Dawson sees no contradiction in working between diverse stylistic and aesthetic realms. Consistent to her art is a sense of curiosity: she is constantly interested in material existence and the state of the natural world. \nA pioneer of both abstraction and realism in Australian art\, Dawson sees no contradiction in working between diverse stylistic and aesthetic realms.

SUMMARY:Juanita McLauchlan: Yilaa Minyaminyabal Maaru-ma-lda-y (Soon Everything Will Be Healing)
DESCRIPTION:Wagga Wagga–based Gamilaaray artist Juanita McLauchlan recognises the constellations above us\, and the everyday pillars of family and community\, as anchors we all have in common. \nIn her first state art museum exhibition\, McLauchlan presents an ambitious new body of work that draws upon the intimacy of personal belongings and body adornments. Using domestic fabrics such as vintage blankets as a base\, she works with leaves\, animal pelts and other organic materials to print\, eco-dye and embroider\, creating works that aren’t constrained to a flat wall mounting\, but are suspended in space. \nThe exhibition acknowledges the power of unity\, connectedness and cultural reclamation to soothe historical burdens and strengthen future optimism.

SUMMARY:Yolŋu Power: The Art of Yirrkala
DESCRIPTION:For almost 100 years artists at Yirrkala have shared art as a means of cultural diplomacy – as a respectful assertion of power in its diverse forms\, from influence to authority\, sovereignty\, strength\, energy and pride. \nYolŋu power: the art of Yirrkala showcases the extraordinary artists of Yirrkala and the power of their art from the 1940s to the present. The exhibition considers the significant moments in Yirrkala’s history when artists have consciously altered their practice\, developed new styles or embraced new mediums. In covering multiple generations\, the exhibition highlights familial connections and cultural continuation. \nThis exhibition is accompanied by a comprehensive publication which offers a range of perspectives on the art of Yirrkala\, from the use of art as activism to the role of cultural inheritance and the development of the art movement that has emerged from this significant community.

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:The Wrong Gods
DESCRIPTION:In a valley in India\, paintings on a cave wall bear testimony to the presence of people – and their gods – for fifty thousand years. Close by\, Nirmala farms the soil as her ancestors did\, but her daughter Isha wants something more – a city education\, and the opportunity it promises. And there are outsiders in the valley now\, bringing new crops\, new technologies\, new visions of the future. There are new gods loose in the valley. But they are asking Nirmala and her people to pay a heavy price. \nThe Wrong Gods melds mother-and-daughter struggle with the economics of progress\, asking\, what are we worshipping? And what price will we pay?

SUMMARY:Mitch Cairns: Restless Legs
DESCRIPTION:Sydney-based artist Mitch Cairns presents an ambitious body of work in his first solo exhibition at the Art Gallery of New South Wales. \nCairns’ striking paintings take inspiration from the world outside his inner-city studio\, from nature and the built environment to the working lives of the people around him.

SUMMARY:Leyla Stevens
DESCRIPTION:Leyla Stevens is an Australian–Balinese artist whose films and photographs uncover alternative histories\, including of people\, rituals and objects connected to the Indonesian island of Bali. Developed through extensive research and community collaboration\, her works carry a potent emotive charge in their sensitive yet affecting retellings. \nIn this exhibition\, Stevens will present new multimedia work exploring Bali’s natural world\, as told through an overlooked collection of Balinese ink paintings. The original works\, made by artisans from the villages of Batuan and Sanur in the 1930s\, depict the local landscape and supernatural beings known to dwell within mountains\, ravines\, forests and rivers. In response\, Stevens’ digital animation and sonic composition will make visible the island’s environmental precarity as well as the local philosophies that could support its ecological preservation.

SUMMARY:Magritte
DESCRIPTION:René Magritte’s paintings of clouds\, hats\, pipes and apples are among the most recognisable images of surrealism. Renowned for his deadpan\, realist style\, the Belgian artist depicted ordinary objects and everyday settings\, revealing them to be more mysterious and enchanting than we could ever have imagined. \nMagritte is an in-depth retrospective featuring more than 100 works\, most of which have never before been seen in Australia. It journeys from the artist’s first avant-garde explorations and commercial works in the 1920s\, to his groundbreaking contributions to surrealism\, his surprising provocations of the 1940s\, and the renowned paintings of his final years\, before his death in 1967. \nEncounter iconic paintings that highlight Magritte’s profound influence on contemporary visual culture\, and discover rarely seen works that reveal his subversive sense of humour and the fierce independence of his artistic vision.
