Curators floor talk with Danny Lacy

One of the most rewarding and meaningful experiences you can have in a Gallery is to be guided through the exhibition by a key contributor or curator of the show. In this instance, Danny has four new exhibitions to talk about, Collection+ Jess Johnson / Eduardo Paolozzi, Thin grey line – Contemporary Drawing and Wall Drawings which was co-curated with Ellinor Pelz.

Also showing over the Sumer months is Collection focus: Women artists which coincides with the launch of MPRG's forthcoming publication highlighting women artists in our collection. This timely exhibition features works spanning the past 90 years, and recasts the important work of women artists in the MPRG Collection.

Wall Drawings - Bringing together eleven leading contemporary artists from across Australia, this exhibition explores the expansive nature of wall drawings and paintings, situating newly commissioned wall-based works throughout the Gallery.

Collection+ Jess Johnson / Eduardo Paolozzi - An ambitious new series Collection+ will pair newly commissioned work by leading artists represented in the MPRG Collection alongside select institutional loans. The first exhibition in this series features new work by trailblazing artist Jess Johnson with one of the pioneers of the pop art movement Sir Eduardo Paolozzi.

Thin grey line – Contemporary Drawing - Thin grey line brings together the work of four highly skilled contemporary artists who incorporate fine detail into their drawing practices. Presenting stunning new drawings from each artist, this focus exhibition highlights the remarkable dexterity and enduring fascination of the medium of pencil drawings.
