Sydney, San Diego Museums Exhibit Unique Contemporary Art

The exhibition will be on view from 20 March to 1 June 2008.

The Museum Of Contemporary Art Sydney presents Southern Exposure, an exhibition of works from the collection of Museum Of Contemporary Art San Diego offering a unique insight into diverse West Coast contemporary art practices over the last four decades.

A second exhibition, Contemporary Australian Video will be presented at Museum Of Contemporary Art San Diego, featuring film and video works by young and established contemporary Australian artists acquired by Museum Of Contemporary Art Sydney over the past five years.

Southern Exposure artists include Robert Irwin, Ed Ruscha, John Baldessari, Bill Viola and Barbara Kruger. Works address a range of issues shaping our world from the 1960s to the present day, from the anti-war movement to social and feminist debates, to the role of the media and advertising in everyday life. -- www.mca.com.au
