mums art in museum of contemporary art sydney

My mum's cover for a friend's poetry book is being exhibited at the MCA as part of the group exhibition 'Avoiding myth and message, Australian artists and the literary world'. The show is from April 7th to July the 12th. Some of the artist's and poets included are Mike Parr, Jenny Watson, Kerry Elias Moore, Denis Gallagher, Rosalie Gascoigne, Gordon Bennett, Michael Dransfield. I went to the opening last night and it is a really beautifully curated show, showing the praxis between art and poetry. Further its nice to see Australian poets and artists who are widely acclaimed in the international underground getting wider exposer in their hometown.

this is from the MCA website concerning the show:

avoiding myth & message: Australian artists and the Literary world7 April - 12 July 2009avoiding myth & message is primarily an MCA collection based project featuring artists whose works have been informed by Australian literature. The exhibition looks at some of the major themes within both the literary and visual traditions and considers where the two streams of creativity overlap thematically: the landscape/interior, text and image,urban life, politics and the personal. The exhibition also includes ephemera, publications and media-based works produced by artists and publishers from 1968 onwards. MCA collection works will be augmented by selected loans from artists and local collections. Public programs are an integral part of the exhibition. The project comprises readings, performance and d.i.y publishing and production including a repeat of the successful MCA zine fair.
