Rising Tide: Film & Video works from the MCA Collection
MCA - Museum of Contemporary Art
Friday 26 June 2009 to Sunday 23 August 2009
This exhibition represents the second in a two-part exchange of collections between the Museum of Contemporary Art, Sydney and the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego, California. This significant collaboration was inaugurated in 2008 with the major exhibition Southern Exposure, which featured works by west coast American artists from the collection of MCA San Diego.
In 2009, the collaboration continues with Rising Tide: Film & Video Works from the MCA Collection. This exhibition showcases film and video works by contemporary Australian artists, which have been acquired over the past six years. It reveals some of the many thematic and conceptual approaches taken to screen- and projection-based media today through the work of both younger and well established Australian practitioners. Participating artists include Destiny Deacon, Shaun Gladwell,The Kingpins, Jess MacNeil, Todd McMillan, TV Moore, Kate Murphy, David Noonan, Susan Norrie, Patricia Piccinini, Tony Schwensen and Daniel von Sturmer.
This exhibition opens at the MCA San Diego in February 2009, before being presented at the MCA Sydney as part of its winter season.
