“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 COFA graduates Michaela Gleave and Wade Marynowsky and artists Andy Best, Christine Eid,, Christopher LG Hill, Ross Manning,
Roderick Sprigg and spat+loogie.
