Primavera 2012: Young Australian Artists
Curator: Anna Davis
No matter how close you get to another person, their inner life will always remain something of a mystery. Primavera 2012 is the 21st edition of the MCA’s annual exhibition of Australian artists aged 35 years and under. The works in Primavera 2012 invite us to enter alternate planes of reality, offering time and space to re-imagine the world from a different perspective.

Primavera 2012 features seven contemporary artists whose works create portals into imaginary territories, spiritual landscapes and private interior realms. Bringing together the work of Dion Beasley, Benjamin Forster, Anastasia Klose, Todd McMillan, Kate Mitchell, Teho Ropeyarn and Justine Varga, the exhibition covers a wide range of artistic approaches. It includes artists from remote areas of Australia alongside those from urban centres and spans media from drawing, print-making, film, video, performance and installation to digital media and photography.
Primavera 2012 considers the roles that contemplation, reflection and introspection play in contemporary art. It explores the way art can take us to places that exist outside of the everyday.
- Anna Davis
The Primavera exhibition series was founded in 1991 through the generous benefaction of Dr Edward Jackson AM and Mrs Cynthia Jackson AM and their family in memory of their daughter and sister Belinda.
