James Turrell

a retrospective

13 December 2014 – 8 June 2015



This exhibition follows three highly successful shows throughout 2013—at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, and the Guggenheim in New York. It brings together works from LACMA's tour, with spectacular installations purpose-built for Canberra, drawings, prints and photographs. This is contemporary art like you've never seen before and promises an experience not to be missed.

Streetwise

contemporary print culture

1 May – 7 Aug 2015



Informed by the Internet as much as the printing press, this eclectic group of works embraces 'print' in a dizzying array of forms: moving image and digital print, 'found' works cut from magazines, pieces that journal the passing of days, and volumes revealing print's link with idea, word and story.
Drawn from the Gallery's collection, the assembled works are joyful, anarchic, delicate and inquiring, revealing Australian print culture as an art form and a cultural phenomenon endlessly restless and always in flux.

Rama_269194.jpg

Story of Rama

22 May – 20 Sept 2015



A tale of love, loyalty, betrayal and the victory of good over evil, the Ramayana is one of the world's great epics. The story of Rama: Indian miniatures from the National Museum, New Delhi illustrates key moments from the narrative through one hundred and one paintings. Spanning the sixteenth to nineteenth centuries, the works present a rich diversity of Indian painting.
