SUMMARY:Art From Behind The Wire
DESCRIPTION:Art From Behind the Wire is a new exhibition featuring posters\, magazines and other printed material created by Second World War prisoners of war\, including Major John Champion de Crespigny. \nJohn was among thousands of Australians made prisoners by the Japanese in the early months of 1942. Captivity at the hands of the Japanese is remembered for merciless brutality however the initial experience in some camps was not harsh. To maintain the morale of the inmates\, Champion de Crespigny and others made posters and produced a magazine\, Mark Time\, during their time as POWs in Java. \nThis extraordinary collection offers a glimpse into the uncertainties of life as captives of a cruel and unpredictable enemy. \nThe exhibition also includes four sketches of the Japanese war crimes trials held on Morotai in December 1945\, drawn by Signalman Alex King\, a talented professional newspaper artist. King served with the Australian Corps of Signals and was able to observe some of the trials firsthand. \nThese unique original sketches capture the moment when Japanese soldiers attended makeshift courts sitting in the witness chair. They offer a rare insight into both the trial process and the individuals accused of war crimes.

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:Eureka Day
DESCRIPTION:Screamingly funny and wildly topical\, Eureka Day lasers in on the poverty of modern discourse and our inability to listen to those with whom we disagree. \nIt’s 2019 and Eureka Day\, a private primary school in Berkeley\, California\, is a bastion of progressive ideals: representation\, gender identity\, social justice. The parents on the Executive Committee value inclusion above all else – until a mumps outbreak forces a rethink of the school’s liberal vaccine policy. As cases rise and polite debate descends into ideological warfare\, the school leadership are forced to confront one of our era’s defining questions: How do you build consensus\, when no one can agree on the facts?

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:Happy Days
DESCRIPTION:Somewhere in a dreamlike wasteland\, Winnie is buried up to her waist in a mound of earth. The sun beats down on her\, relentlessly. She is unable to see her husband Willie (a man of few words)\, who she chatters to and prompts for affection and approval. Undaunted\, she continues to celebrate each happy day. \nWritten in the poetic\, distilled and brilliant style that crowned Beckett the greatest dramatist of his day\, Happy Days is a play about the power of the human spirit when faced with impossible circumstances.

Happy Days is a grand night of theatre that no one will want to miss.

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:The Lover & The Dumb Waiter
DESCRIPTION:THE LOVER\nTrapped in the monotony of middle-class life\, Richard and Sarah’s marriage is on its last legs. Perhaps a lover could reignite their corroding relationship… or is escape from their stifling existence just a fantasy? \nBurning with intrigue and uneasy humour\, Harold Pinter spins a dangerous game of cat and mouse in this steamy psychological drama. \nTHE DUMB WAITER\nBen and Gus have a job to do. As they await instructions\, their silence is disturbed by the rattle of a dumb waiter delivering peculiar food orders. Who is making demands for extravagant dishes when all the two men have is a packet of crisps? \nAs the intensity builds in Pinter’s comedy of claustrophobia\, Ben and Gus begin to question everything… and so will you.

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.
