The NSW Minister for Tourism and Major Events Adam Marshall announced two extraordinary exhibitions exclusive to Sydney for the tenth iteration of the Sydney International Art Series in 2019-20: the Museum of Contemporary Art Australia (MCA) will present a major retrospective of British artist Cornelia Parker, encompassing works across three decades, while the Art Gallery of New South Wales will present Japan supernatural, an immersive, multi-sensory exhibition of more than 200 works of Japanese art.
“The NSW Government is bringing world-class exhibitions to Sydney, strengthening our city’s position as a leading cultural destination and contributing to our goal of tripling overnight visitor expenditure by 2030,” Mr Marshall said.
“I’m delighted our prized cultural institutions will have the opportunity to showcase what will be two standout exhibitions exclusively for Sydney that are expected to attract over 220,000 attendees.”
British artist Cornelia Parker, OBE and Royal Academician (born 1956), is well known for her transformation of everyday objects into unexpected, haunting scenarios–things are exploded, shot, turned back to front, and rearranged in often surprising ways. Working with sculpture and installation, as well as drawing, photography and film, Parker positions her subjects at the very moment of their transformation, suspended in time and completely still.
Cornelia Parker will be on display from 8 November 2019 — 16 February 2020 at the Museum of Contemporary Art Australia.
