Primavera 2004: 2 Sep - 7 Nov - FREE exhibition 

Exhibition by young Australian artists. 2 September - 7 November 2004.
Where: Museum of Contemporary Art

"Primavera is the MCA’s annual exhibition presenting work by Australian artists 35 years of age and under. Since its inauguration in 1992 Primavera has become one of the longest running and most successful exhibitions on the MCA calendar. Over its history this exhibition has profiled new generations of artists in fresh and innovative contexts.

Curator of the 2004 exhibition, Vivienne Webb, based her selection of artists around those working with materials in novel or challenging ways. Artists to be included in Primavera 2004 are Nick Mangan (VIC); Sandra Selig (QLD); Sangeeta Sandrasegar (VIC); Neal Smith (NSW); Roy Ananda and Julia Robinson (SA); Natasha Johns-Messenger (VIC); Tim Sterling (SA); Huseyin Sami (NSW); and PVI Collective (WA).

While many of the artists explore the ability of everyday objects and materials to convey and disrupt meaning, others utilise traditional artistic materials such as paint and paper. This exhibition offers the opportunity to examine the presence of three-dimensional work in current artistic and cultural contexts in the light of artistic precedents such as Minimalism, in which objects are presented devoid of cultural references; Pop Art, which engages popular culture with 'high art'; and Arte Povera, which addresses the intrinsic nature and poetic possibilitiesof materials.

Primavera was founded in 1991 through the generous benefaction of Ted and Cynthia Jackson, and the Jackson family, in memory of their late daughter Belinda."
