THE NATIONAL: NEW AUSTRALIAN ART

THURSDAY 30 MARCH TO SUNDAY 16 JULY 2017

The first of three biennial surveys presenting the latest ideas and forms in contemporary Australian art. Three of Sydney’s premiere cultural institutions – the Art Gallery of NSW, Carriageworks and the Museum of Contemporary Art Australia – have established a major new partnership to present a single curated exhibition across the three venues.

Connecting three of Sydney’s key cultural precincts – The Domain, Redfern and Circular Quay – The National: new Australian art is the only large-scale recurring exhibition in the city focused solely on contemporary Australian art.

Over three editions in 2017, 2019 and 2021, The National will profile a mix of emerging, mid-career and established artists from around the country and practising overseas. New and recently commissioned works encompass a diverse range of mediums, including painting, video, sculpture, installation, drawing and performance.

Exhibition Dates:
Art Gallery of New South Wales: March 30 - July 16.
Carriageworks: March 30-June 25.
Museum of Contemporary Art Australia: March 30 - June 18.
