Primavera 2009



9 September - 22 November 2009

“As contemporary art continues to expand outwards, artists are practising with a new level of fearlessness and curiosity.”
Jeff Khan, Guest Curator, Primavera 2009

This year the MCA’s popular Primavera series comes of age as the annual exhibition celebrates its 18th anniversary. With a reputation for uncovering new talent in the visual arts, Primavera provides valuable exposure for emerging artists aged 35 years and under.

Primavera 2009 guest-curator Jeff Khan has selected nine of today’s most exciting young contemporary artists from across the country to explore the relationship between art and the viewer. Discover highly experiential works that engage you through humour, emotion, performance and immersive experiences both inside and outside the galleries.

Working across a range of disciplines, the Primavera 2009 artists are Andy Best, Christine Eid, Michaela Gleave, Christopher LG Hill, Ross Manning, Wade Marynowsky, Roderick Sprigg and spat+loogie.


The Primavera exhibition series was founded in 1991 through the generous benefaction of Dr Edward Jackson AM and Mrs Cynthia Jackson AM and their family, in memory of their late daughter and sister Belinda.
