Sydney, Australia.- The galleries of Sydney’s Museum of Contemporary Art have been closed for refurbishment since June of this year. They should be reopening in early 2012. However, in the meantime the museum have been finding ways of working around the lack of gallery space. The annual ‘Primavera’ exhibition of work by Australia artists aged 35 and under is being held in various locations in and around Sydney’s well-know “Rocks” precinct behind the museum, and the museum website is hosting “MCA Collection Online: New Acquisitions in Context”. As part of the MCA’s redevelopment, this online pilot project showcases 28 works from the recent MCA Collection: New Acquisitions in Context. This online resource, over time, will become a key component in showcasing the MCA’s expanding collection of contemporary Australian art.
