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:Hikoko Ito: Happy Birthday 2U2

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. They are immediately recognisable for their stylised imagery\, refined brushwork and restricted colour palette. \nCairns is well-known as a portrait painter\, having won the Archibald Prize in 2017; this exhibition reveals the full breadth of his practice and the diversity of his influences.

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.

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:Dobell Australian Drawing Biennial 2024
DESCRIPTION:Through the work of ten artists from around Australia\, the 2024 edition of the Dobell Australian Drawing Biennial focuses on the compelling and allusive languages of abstraction. \nMatthew Allen (NSW)\, Helen Eager (NSW)\, Emma Fielden (NSW)\, the late Ngarralja Tommy May (WA)\, Ceara Metlikovec (NSW)\, Kerrie Poliness (VIC)\, Cameron Robbins (VIC)\, Sandra Selig (QLD)\, Kate Vassallo (ACT) and Savanhdary Vongpoothorn (ACT) share an abstract aesthetic and preoccupation with the mediums\, methods and formal possibilities of drawing. Their concerns include the role of technology and of collaboration\, the forces of nature and rhythms of the body\, chance versus the urge to control\, repetition and gesture\, and the telling of stories of culture and Country. \nThe works selected for this exhibition look at the implication of the artist’s hand – its presence or absence – and questions of materials and pictorial space. They vary from hand-drawn graphite\, coloured pencil and ink on paper\, to collaborative wall and floor drawings\, works made using the power of the sun\, and works that extend beyond two dimensions.

SUMMARY:Lee Ufan
DESCRIPTION:Within spaces designed by the artist\, this new exhibition distils over six decades of considered experimentation into a series of new paintings and sculptures created especially for the Art Gallery. \nLee’s sparing use of simple materials\, including stone\, steel and canvas\, has a quiet force that encourages contemplation and consideration of the physical and intellectual self in relation to the work. He is also a writer whose philosophical approach to art embraces Zen and Confucian thought\, alongside aesthetic ideas of emptiness\, known as ma. \nFor Lee\, the space around objects is as significant as the objects themselves. His conceptual and minimalist approach has been influential in art\, design and philosophy\, with artists Anish Kapoor and Park Seo-Bo as well as architect Tadao Ando among the prominent figures inspired by his art.

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:Lesley Dumbrell - Thrum
DESCRIPTION:Spanning more than five decades of Lesley Dumbrell’s practice\, this exhibition presents a selection of paintings and works on paper as well as recent forays into sculpture that demonstrate Dumbrell’s unique abstract language\, which probes the nuances of colour\, rhythm and visual perception. \nLesley Dumbrell: Thrum brings together works ranging from the experimental and unfinished to the highly realised and refined\, and includes the joyous Spangle 1977\, the first work by Lesley Dumbrell. \nStarting in 1969 with hard-edge and optical paintings\, the exhibition reveals Dumbrell’s development as an assured and ambitious painter with a distinctive voice. Her perennial fascination with colour relationships and the organising power of the grid has seen these elements become potent vehicles for her expression of experience and emotion\, sensation and place. Now in her eighties\, Dumbrell continues to explore colour and form\, with laser-cut metal sculptures the latest advance in a practice characterised by intuition\, experimentation and play.

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:Archibald\, Wynne and Sulman Prizes 2024
DESCRIPTION:The Archibald Prize for portrait painting is Australia’s most celebrated and democratic – sometimes controversial – art award. Open to any artist living in Australia or New Zealand\, since 1921 it has reflected the unique experiences of the people who live in this region\, highlighting figures from all walks of life. \nAs equally exciting for the diverse entries they attract from across the country\, the Wynne Prize is for landscape painting of Australian scenery\, or figure sculpture\, while the Sulman Prize is for subject painting\, genre painting or a mural project. \nThe ‘must-see’ annual exhibition of finalists and winners in these three competitions is always compelling viewing.

SUMMARY:Wendy Sharpe - Spellbound
DESCRIPTION:Wendy Sharpe is celebrated for her expressive works that observe and celebrate the human condition. Her career catapulted when\, in 1996\, she won the Archibald Prize – the first time a self-portrait by a woman took out the award. \nWendy Sharpe: Spellbound is a sumptuous aesthetic journey into the nature of creativity. Composed of drawings\, sketchbooks\, artist-made books\, paintings\, ceramics\, sculptural forms and site-specific wall murals\, it creates a complete artistic creation or gesamtkunstwerk (a German word meaning ‘total work of art’). \nThe artist herself will also regularly be in residence\, creating art within a special space in the gallery that partially reconstructs her own Sydney studio.

SUMMARY:Henry IV (Part 1)
DESCRIPTION:Redemption? Disgrace? Honour? Legitimacy? Love? Glory? What sort of world do the young inherit from the old\, and what should we fight for? What makes a truly great leader? Henry IV (Part 1) is a play made for our time. Shakespeare looks back at history to imagine his nation’s future and turns an immense and kaleidoscopic national lens on the most simple and human of relationships – the family. \nThe play is moving\, funny and thrillingly chaotic\, swaying on a tightrope of irrational thought and behaviour trying to maintain its sanity and balance\, tumbling from conniving politics to saturnalian madness as people at every level of English society grasp for power\, notoriety\, fame and loyalty from those around them
