For his Australian premiere, the Museum Of Contemporary Art, Sydney presents Los Angeles-based Tim Hawkinson, whose ingenious constructions of found objects and everyday items have brought him widespread recognition as one of the most original artists working today.
The exhibition will be on view from 11 December 2007 to 5 March 2008.
Visitors to Hawkinson's 2005 survey at the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York, queued around the block to catch sight of his highly imaginative two and three-dimensional assemblages.
Known for his large-scale kinetic and sound-producing works, Hawkinson's intricate and playful works engage with the human body and portraiture, incorporating mechanical components and materials such as latex, plastic, cardboard and string.
For his Museum Of Contemporary Art, Sydney exhibition the artist presents sculptures, photo-collages, and drawings from the past decade and introduces his extraordinary new animal creations, as well as inflatable self portraits, monstrous beings and fantastical structures that chatter, whistle, rotate and spin. -- www.mca.com.au
