An exciting program of events complements the exhibitions, including a wide range of public and education programs for all ages and demographics, plus film screenings, performances and lectures. Tickets on sale soon.
Kandinsky
Kandinsky
Kandinsky sounded a call to artists to look beyond the visible world, to find the ‘inner necessity’ that impels them to create. He explored the transcendent potential of abstract art, focusing on colour, line and form to move us emotionally and spiritually and offer a regenerative vision of the future.
Kandinsky, an exhibition from the collection of the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in New York, will showcase the life and work of Vasily Kandinsky in the original South Building of the Art Gallery of NSW from 4 November 2023 to 10 March 2024.
Louise Bourgeois: Has the Day Invaded the Night or Has the Night Invaded the Day?
Louise Bourgeois: Has the Day Invaded the Night or Has the Night Invaded the Day?
Louise Bourgeois: Has the Day Invaded the Night or Has the Night Invaded the Day? is the largest survey of pioneering artist Louise Bourgeois ever displayed in Australia and the first monographic exhibition staged in the Art Gallery’s new SANAA-designed building from 25 November 2023 to 28 April 2024.
Spanning seven decades, the Louise Bourgeois exhibition is an unprecedented display of the French-American artist’s practice featuring more than 150 works that will inhabit not one but two major spaces: the major exhibition gallery and the Tank.
Tacita Dean’s solo exhibition at the Museum of Contemporary Art Australia, from 8 December 2023 to 3 March 2024, will be the largest in-depth presentation of the artist’s work in the Southern Hemisphere.
The exhibition will bring together important artworks, the substantial majority created by the artist in the last five years, including new and recent films, monumental drawings and installations that convey Dean’s extraordinarily beautiful investigations into chance, memory, entropy, history and the passing of time.
