NEW MCA OPENING DETAILS
The new MCA as it appears in March 2012
The Museum of Contemporary Art Australia (MCA) reopens on Thursday 29 March 2012 as a bold, new
and expanded museum. Following a AUD$53 million redevelopment, the Museum will be transformed into
a major cultural centre for contemporary art and creative learning.
The MCA is Australia’s Museum of Contemporary Art, dedicated to exhibiting, collecting and interpreting the
work of today’s artists. The widely anticipated reopening of the Museum is a highlight on the international
art calendar. This milestone will be celebrated with a week-long series of launch events culminating in a
dynamic schedule of free artist talks and public programs throughout the opening weekend.
The new MCA opens with Marking Time, an international exhibition which presents major works by eleven
artists in the spacious new top floor galleries. The world-renowned and highly-acclaimed 24-hour video
installation The Clock by Christian Marclay occupies the largest of all galleries, the Level 1 North Gallery
in the new wing.
The Museum has also commissioned Performance Space to curate a performance program in and around
the new building. Local Positioning Systems comprises six artists from Australia and a UK collaborative.
The new MCA opens with a collection hang, Volume One: MCA Collection, which features works by more
than 170 Australian artists.
The second season comprises the 18th Biennale of Sydney across two floors of the MCA. In October, the
annual Primavera exhibition will showcase young Australian artists, alongside the first major solo survey
devoted to the work of renowned Australian artist Ken Whisson. Claire Healy and Sean Cordeiro will
take over the Museum’s Level 1 North Gallery. In December, artist Brook Andrew will curate a thoughtprovoking exhibition which presents recent and new artworks by Indigenous artists from Australia and
around the world. And the MCA will present the first major exhibition by Anish Kapoor in Australia as part
of the Sydney International Art Series. The exhibition will be spread over two floors of the Museum, Level
3 and Level 1 North.

Another two additions to the Museum are the rooftop venues. Created to take advantage of their location,
the venues offer spectacular views across Sydney Harbour from the Opera House to the Harbour Bridge.
‘I am delighted that we are opening with a dynamic program of exhibitions showcasing work by Australian
artists alongside their international peers. It is thrilling to see the new MCA take shape. The creation of
wonderful new spaces for art and for creative learning, right on the harbour is a landmark in the Museum’s
history. The cutting-edge architecture complements the existing building and the use of new technology
sets a new standard for collaboration with audiences. The new MCA will be a world-class hub of art and
creative learning which responds to the Museum’s growing audience and reaches out across the country,’
said MCA Director, Elizabeth Ann Macgregor.
A key feature of the new MCA’s program is a series of commissions by Australian artists. Brook Andrew has
installed a permanent work on the Circular Quay façade which draws attention to the colonial naval dock
remains underneath the new extension. The work is a poetic response to one aspect of the interpretation
of the heritage of the site.
The artist who represented Australia in the 2011 Venice Biennale, Hany Armanious, has created the first
work for the new Sculpture Terrace, a spectacular space for art overlooking Sydney Harbour. Each year an
artist will be invited to create a site-specific installation to be exhibited for a period of 12 months. The MCA
Sculpture Series will stimulate ambitious and significant new work to fire the public imagination.

Melbourne artist Emily Floyd has created the first commission for the MCA’s Bella Room for children
with specific needs. In response to a brief to create a work for children with visual impairments, Emily is
developing a playful sensory and tactile environment which will enhance the experiences of touch and
smell in a creative learning space.
Grant Stevens has created a video work for the new MCA foyer featuring the names of the donors who
have contributed to the Museum’s redevelopment. It will complement Imants Tillers’ Pure Beauty in the
previous Museum entrance, which was commissioned in 1993 after the existing building was converted
into the MCA.
Helen Eager has created a large-scale wall painting for the Circular Quay entrance. The commission, the
artist’s largest artwork to date, will be added to the MCA’s collection of wall drawings and will provide a
strong statement in the entrance for the first year.
Melbourne-based artist Andrew McQualter has re-installed his site-specific work Untitled wall painting (for
Helen Johnson) first commissioned in 2007 for the MCA Collection. McQualter is a Primavera artist whose
metaphoric imagery suggests relationships we cultivate and nurture, gardening and cultural production.
His wall painting will be in the corridor leading from the new building to the MCA’s Foundation Hall.
The MCA would like to thank the following galleries for their support of the MCA’s commissioned
artworks: Brook Andrew - Tolarno Galleries Melbourne, Hany Armanious – Roslyn Oxley9 Gallery
Sydney, Emily Floyd - Anna Schwartz Gallery Sydney and Melbourne, Grant Stevens - Gallery Barry
Keldoulis, and Helen Eager - Utopia Arts Sydney.

Marking Time
29 March – 3 June 2012
Level 3
The new MCA’s inaugural international exhibition, Marking Time presents major works by eleven artists
from Europe, the USA, Brazil, Japan and Australia. This exhibition will be presented in the Museum’s
spacious new top floor galleries.
In Marking Time, time is extended, made circular, wound backwards, and articulated through performative,
durational acts. In keeping with its theme, the exhibition unfolds over a 24-hour cycle. Some works come
to life only at night, illuminating the Museums’ front lawn. Others materialise slowly during the course of
the exhibition, revealed through the footsteps of visitors passing through the Museum foyer and stairwells.
From the collision of past and present in Edgar Arceneaux’s ambitious wall-scale drawings, to concepts
of ‘deep’ or universal time in Tatsuo Miyajima’s video and photographic works and Lindy Lee’s weather
paintings harnessing fire and water, to Rivane Neuenschwander’s poetic flip-clocks and calendars,
time becomes elastic and open ended. Elisa Sighicelli literally rewinds time through the medium of
film: exploded fireworks contract to pin-points against the night sky, as ends return to beginnings; and
Katie Paterson examines ancient cosmic phenomena in her durational confetti installation 100 Billion
Suns and moon inspired works. Gulumbu Yunupingu also turns her gaze upwards, depicting celestial
formations upon bark panels and hollowed memorial (Larrakitj) poles. The relationship between real time
and digital artifice is explored in John Gerrard’s epic, slow moving animations of American mid-western
scenes; while Jim Campbell uses computer-programmed light to create flickering, ever-changing scenes
inspired by family albums and events. Finally, Tom Nicholson’s vast wall drawing relates geo-political
dates throughout history, while Daniel Crooks’ mesmeric videos stretch and reconfigure time into abstract
bands of colour.

The Clock

The Clock
Level 1 North
For its much anticipated public opening on Thursday 29 March 2012, the MCA is delighted to announce
the inclusion of Christian Marclay, winner of the Golden Lion for best artist at last year’s 54th Venice
Biennale, with The Clock. The Clock has attracted record breaking crowds wherever it has been shown,
and has been described as ‘the most complex thing made by any artist so far this century’.
The Clock comprises several thousand short extracts from cinema history, each suggesting a particular
time of day or referencing a specific moment, often through the appearance of a watch or clock-face. They
are edited together to form a continuous visual sequence synchronised with the real time of visitors in
the gallery who watch the film; and they suggest countless interlocking narratives despite the constant
changes in genres, eras, locations and plotlines.
Elizabeth Ann Macgregor, MCA Director, said: ‘The MCA is excited to bring to Australia this extraordinary
and much sought after work of art. We are thrilled to be the first venue to show The Clock in the southern
hemisphere and it complements perfectly MCA Senior Curator Rachel Kent’s opening exhibition Marking
Time.’
Rachel Kent said ‘The Clock highlights the centrality of time within conventional cinematic narratives – the
way it binds stories together and leads us through their events. Yet by the same token, cinema traditionally
immerses viewers within an illusory sense of time, suspending momentarily the real time of the world
outside. The Clock creates an uncanny correspondence between cinematic and real time, drawing viewers
into a parallel awareness of what they watch on screen and experience beyond it.’
The Clock is a 24-hour video that will be shown in its entirety on the MCA’s opening day, then played
continuously during regular museum opening hours. Every subsequent Thursday there will be a special
24-hour presentation of this work. The Clock will be shown in the MCA’s spacious Level 1 North Gallery
in the new wing.
ABOUT THE ARTIST
Christian Marclay was born in California in 1955 and grew up in Switzerland. He now lives between
London and New York. He is an internationally acclaimed artist who has employed the concept of collage
since the 1970s across diverse media including film and video, photography, installation, sound and music.

Local Positioning Systems
Multiple locations
Local Positioning Systems curated by Performance Space adds a season of performance, participatory
and site-specific art celebrating the launch of the new MCA. This is the first partnership between
Performance Space and the MCA.
Local Positioning Systems brings performance and live art to the MCA under different guises and in
several locations. The project takes as its starting point the newly reconfigured architecture of the MCA,
and breaks down the threshold between the Museum and its surrounding environment and communities.
Local Positioning Systems forges new relations with the audiences and artworks, defining the MCA’s
engagement with the broader social and built environment—the performances take place on the MCA
Square, first aid room, library, education facilities and the surrounding landscape of Sydney Harbour and
The Rocks.
The program features six Australian artists - Julie-Anne Long, Jason Maling, Bennett Miller, Stuart
Ringholt, Latai Taumoepeau, Lara Thoms - and the UK- based collaborative Walker & Bromwich.
ABOUT PERFORMANCE SPACE
Performance Space is Australia’s leading organisation for the development and presentation of
interdisciplinary arts. They have been around for almost thirty years in Sydney, and have been located
at Carriageworks for the last five years. Their program incorporates a broad range of experimental arts
practice. They commission new works by contemporary visual and installation artists and run a performance
program which produces and presents new work from theatre to contemporary dance, and everything inbetween.

Opens 29 March 2012 with rotating displays across the new MCA Collection Galleries
Level 2 & Level 1 South
The Museum will reopen with a major focus on its Collection. Volume One: MCA Collection features
works by more than 170 Australian artists acquired since the founding of the MCA in May 1989. This new
presentation will reflect the diversity of Australian contemporary art over the past 20 years, including work
by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander artists, the consolidation of film and video practice from a marginal
to central position; the emergence of diverse cultural voices; as well as ephemeral and performative
practices.
Volume One: MCA Collection comprises works by well-known Australian artists such as Ildiko Kovacs,
Juan Davila, Gordon Bennett, Bardayal Lofty Nadjamerrek, Helen Eager, Robert Owen and Ah
Xian, to William Yang, Nicholas Folland, Robert Owen, Mikala Dwyer, Rebecca Baumann, Ricky
Swallow, Hossein Valamanesh, Louise Hearman and Rosalie Gasgoigne, moving imagery by Shaun
Gladwell, TV Moore, Brown Council, Julie Rrap, Fiona Foley, Margaret Dodd, Angelica Mesiti, Jess
MacNeil, Patricia Piccinini, David Noonan, Kate Murphy, Susan Norrie, Destiny Deacon, Khaled
Sabsabi, James Newitt, Richard Bell, The Kingpins, Marr Grounds, and a collection of woven pieces
by artists from Maningrida, NT, including Jacky Bunkaniyal, Shirley Minjingala, Mary Mirdaburrwa,
Beryl Birnama and others.
The selection references the MCA’s exhibition and collecting history. A purpose-built screen space will
engage visitors with video artworks. A resource room within the original boardroom of the Maritime
Services Building will provide opportunities to research the Collection and view works from the MCA’s
Contemporary Art Archive, a unique aspect of the MCA Collection.

2012-2013 Exhibition program
18th Biennale of Sydney: all our relations
27 June 2012 – 16 September 2012
Level 1 and Level 3
As a major venue partner, the MCA will present works from the 18th Biennale of Sydney: all our
relations across two levels of the new Museum. Curated by Artistic Directors, Catherine de Zegher and
Gerald McMaster, ‘all our relations’ will focus on inclusionary art practices of generative thinking such as
collaboration, conversation and compassion. Working from a collaborative framework, ‘all our relations’
will be a departure from previous Biennale of Sydney exhibitions – the theme will increasingly become
apparent through the process rather than being imposed on artists and audiences at the beginning.
Since 1973, the Biennale of Sydney has explored varying terrains and broken new ground in each edition.
The 18th Biennale of Sydney seeks to continue this history of pioneering. Major venues for the 18th
Biennale of Sydney include the Art Gallery of New South Wales, the MCA, Pier 2/3 and Cockatoo Island.
Ken Whisson: As If
28 September – 25 November 2012
Level 3
In a career spanning over sixty years, Ken Whisson has been making thoughtful and uncompromising
paintings and drawings which hold a unique place in Australian art. Whisson’s reputation has been built
around his tenacious dedication to the act of painting and persistent fascination with—and singular
responses to—the delicate machinations of both the inner world and the world at large.
Trained as a young artist in wartime Melbourne in the 1940s, Whisson emerged out of the influential school
of figurative expressionism. He initially studied under Russian émigré artist Danila Vassilieff at Warrandyte,
then went on to combine the tendencies of his formative years with an increasingly linear and graphic
abstraction. He has forged an unconventional and highly personal aesthetic which sees topographic and
single point perspectives coalesce and imagery that often suggests a heightened and intense, sometimes
hallucinogenic reality.
The exhibition traces the evolution of Whisson’s major themes and series, from his powerful portrayals of
human relations to those which consider relationships with natural, built and cultural environments. Since
the late 1970s he has been based in the Italian city of Perugia, during which time interests in displacement
and memory have joined his enduring themes of landscape, identity and politics.
Ken Whisson: As If is a major retrospective of the artist’s work and is produced in partnership with the
Heide Museum of Modern Art, Melbourne.

Claire Healy and Sean Cordeiro
4 October – 2 December 2012
Level 1 North
This is the first major solo museum exhibition in Australia for Sydney-based artists Claire Healy and Sean
Cordeiro. Working collaboratively since 2001, Healy and Cordeiro’s work reclaims and transforms the
detritus of contemporary life. Bringing together ideas of home, permanency, and the acquisition of material
goods, their practice is characterised by the deconstruction and reinvention of prefabricated structures
and the assembly of everyday objects into extraordinary sculptures and installations. The artists spend
much of their time travelling. Their experience of a nomadic lifestyle directly informs their practice: packing,
unpacking, collecting, sorting and discarding are central themes in their work.
Claire Healy and Sean Cordeiro will incorporate key works created by the artists during the past eight
years as well as a new commission. The exhibition will span Healy and Cordeiro’s diverse range of artistic
production and will include installation, sculpture and photography, drawing on both the MCA Collection
and private loans.
Healy and Cordeiro were awarded the Helen Lempriere Travelling Arts Scholarship in 2003, the Australia
Council residency at Kunsterhaus Bethanien, Berlin, in 2005 and the Anne and Gordon Samstag
International Visual Arts Scholarship in 2006 and represented Australia in the Venice Biennale in 2009.
Primavera 2012
4 October – 2 December 2012
Level 1 South
Primavera 2012 will mark the 21st anniversary of the MCA’s annual exhibition. Curated by MCA Curator
Anna Davis for the second consecutive year, Primavera showcases work by artists aged 35 years and
under from across Australia. The exhibition was initiated in 1992 by the Museum in collaboration with Dr
Edward Jackson AM and Mrs Cynthia Jackson AM and their family in memory of their daughter and sister
Belinda Jackson, a talented jeweller who died in 1990 at the age of 29. Primavera commemorates Belinda
by celebrating the creative achievements of talented young artists in the early stages of their careers.

TABOO
19 December 2012 – 24 February 2013
Level 1 South
Guest curator artist Brook Andrew has proposed a thought-provoking and stimulating project dealing with
issues that global Indigenous artists confront in their art practices. TABOO is an exhibition – comprising
new work as well as selections from private and public collections – and also performances, forum,
film and talks that extend the ideas and concerns raised by the works. The project explores ideas and
theories around taboo, such as issues of religion, perceptions of identity, anthropology – it interrogates
‘what is taboo?’ in the personal lives of the artists. TABOO tackles contemporary perceptions whilst
unpacking the historical motivations and cultural collusions of social custom or emotional aversion to the
sacred. Building on ideas presented by Brook Andrew in the innovative Blakatak program at the MCA
in 2005, TABOO features an array of artists, performers and key cultural figures from the Pacific and
beyond including Namila Benson, Jimmie Durham, Marcia Langton and Christian Thompson.
Anish Kapoor
20 December 2012 – 1 April 2013
Level 1 North and Level 3
The Museum of Contemporary Art Australia is delighted to present the first major exhibition by Anish
Kapoor in Australia as part of the Sydney International Art Series in conjunction with Destination NSW.
The Mumbai (Bombay) born, British-based artist is one of the most celebrated sculptors working today.
Known for powerful and beautiful sculptures, which explore concepts of duality and opposition such
as presence and absence, being and transcendence, Kapoor has created some of the world’s most
ambitious and recognisable contemporary artworks, including Marsyas (2002) for Turbine Hall at Tate
Modern, Cloud Gate (2006) in Millennium Park, Chicago, Sky Mirror (2006) for the Rockefeller Centre in
New York and Leviathan (2011) for the Grand Palais in Paris.
Influenced by both his Indian heritage and western philosophy, in particular metaphysics, Kapoor’s
artworks seek to understand what it is to be human. The artist’s interest in the relationship between the
contrasting forces of light and dark is considered in artworks that experiment with colour, form, size and
medium. His ongoing investigation of object, viewer and space has manifest in sculptures that create
deep emotional and physical engagement.
The artist’s experimentation with structure and medium has seen him work across a wide variety of
materials from clay, plastic, paint pigment, steel and wax to challenge conventional ideas of art and
engagement. He has exhibited in a wide range of locations from the museum to the urban environment;
from religious buildings to the rural landscape. At the MCA, the artist will present a selection of new
and key works across two floors of the Museum, this special showcase of the artist’s works will allow
Australian audiences the opportunity to encounter Kapoor’s awe-inspiring artworks up close and indepth.
Throughout his career, Kapoor has balanced critical acclaim with public popularity. Over the past thirty
years, Kapoor has exhibited extensively internationally, including solo exhibitions at the Tate Gallery and
the Hayward Gallery in London, the Deutsche Guggenheim in Berlin, the Museo Guggenheim de Arte
Moderno y Contemporaneo in Bilbao and the National Gallery of Modern Art in Delhi. His solo exhibition
at the Royal Academy of Art in London in 2009 was visited by 275,000 people, making it the most
successful exhibition ever by a living artist in London.

Exterior Materials:
The building is clad in GRC (glass reinforced concrete) panels. GRC is essentially precast concrete but steel
reinforcement has been replaced with fibreglass to allow very thin and large panels. These panels also clad the roof
and parts of the terrace decks. Glass used in the window openings is high performance glass for superior thermal
and acoustic insulation.
Interior Materials:
Wherever possible, the concrete superstructure has been exposed on the interiors (for example the lift cores). Gallery
walls are painted plasterboard on plywood on stud walls. Otherwise walls are generally painted plasterboard. Ceilings
in galleries are painted plasterboard. In public spaces, the ceilings are stepped painted plasterboard to maximise
height and in certain areas reveal the concrete super structure. The function spaces on level 6 employ a battened
timber ceiling for sound absorption.
Elevators:
Two existing elevators will be refurbished and an additional two new lifts installed.

BIOGRAPHIES

ELIZABETH ANN MACGREGOR OBE, DIRECTOR
Elizabeth Ann has been Director of the Museum of Contemporary Art Australia since 1999. She was
previously Director of Ikon Gallery Birmingham (1989 – 1999).
Liz Ann moved to Sydney to take up the directorship of the Museum of Contemporary Art at a time when
the Museum was facing great challenges. She negotiated a sponsorship deal with Telstra in 2000 to
introduce free admission and since then attendances have increased dramatically, doubling initially and
continuing to climb each year. A new funding deal with the NSW Government and the Australia Council
to replace the University of Sydney gave the Museum financial stability and encouraged further private
sector support. But it was all about art: her passion for bringing artists work into the wider public arena
has led her to establish programs not only at Circular Quay but also in Western Sydney and across the
state.
The redevelopment, completed in March 2012, was a crucial part of Liz Ann’s vision of connecting
audiences with artists. As well as new galleries for the collection and exhibitions, a series of new
commissions puts artists centre stage in the building. The MCA’s new National Centre for Creative
Learning and its continued commitment to outreach programs are critical to her concern for future
generations. Liz Ann has also spearheaded the campaign to develop the MCA’s national and international
profile, as Australia’s Museum of Contemporart Art dedicated to exhibiting and collecting contemporary
art.
She is a regular contributor to conferences, seminars, radio and television programs on arts issues
and is currently on the board of Fauna and Flora International Australia, the Council of Australian Art
Museum Directors and was elected to the board of CIMAM last year.
Macgregor’s innovation and contribution to supporting artists and increasing access to contemporary
art has been recognised with a Centenary Medal in 2003, the Veuve Clicquot Business Woman Award
and the Australia Business Arts Foundation Dame Elisabeth Murdoch Arts Business Leadership Award
in 2008. In 2011 she received the Australia Council Visual Arts Medal and was made an OBE in the
Queen’s birthday honour list.

MCA ANNOUNCES NEW PARTNERS
The Museum of Contemporary Art Australia is delighted to announce its opening season and new program
sponsors.
Opening exhibitions:
Westpac Institutional Bank is the Major Partner for the new MCA’s inaugural international exhibition
Marking Time, which presents major works by eleven artists from Europe, the USA, Brazil, Japan and
Australia. The exhibition explores the ways in which artists visualise time, from family history and the
failures of memory, to the ancient time of the planet or cosmos, to calendar cycles mapping the duration of
the exhibition itself and its passing, across diverse media.
“Westpac Institutional Bank is proud to be part of the reinvigorated MCA, which will boost the cultural life
of Sydney and Australia. Millions of Australians visit galleries each year and Westpac Institutional Bank is
pleased that it can contribute to the ongoing diversity of creativity and innovation in this country.”
_ Elizabeth Horbach, Director, Marketing, Westpac Institutional Bank.
LG is the Major Partner for Volume One: MCA Collection, which comprises works acquired since the MCA
was established in 1989 and includes more than 170 Australian artists. Selected by MCA Curator Glenn
Barkley, Volume One: MCA Collection reflects the diversity of Australian contemporary art over the past
20 years, including work by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander artists, the consolidation of film and video
practice from a marginal to central position; the emergence of diverse cultural voices; as well as ephemeral
and performative practices. LG is also one of the MCA’s new Technology Innovation Partners.
“As a global leader and technology innovator in consumer electronics, LG is proud to be a Technology
Innovation Partner and Major Partner of Volume One: MCA Collection. The MCA is a progressive and
dynamic arts leader that represents a harmony between innovation, art and design. LG’s association with
the MCA aligns beautifully with our position in Home Entertainment of fusing the ultimate in Innovation
& Design together with 3D Cinema technology for the most immersive and rewarding entertainment
experiences.”
_ Fiona Irving, Corporate Marketing Manager, LG Australia
As part of the reopening of the Museum the MCA is also announcing a series of new program partners:

“Art, education and social investment are cornerstones of Deutsche Bank’s commitment to Corporate Social
Responsibility and we are thrilled that our expanded relationship with the MCA captures all three. We believe
art transcends borders and is crucial to stimulating innovation and inspiring communities. The MCA’s vibrant
and intelligent education programs open up a new and highly imaginative visual world. The Bank is especially
pleased that in addition to supporting the MCA’s existing education programs, our partnership will enable the
MCA to undertake projects with several of Deutsche Bank’s charity partners”.
_ John Macfarlane, Executive Chairman, Deutsche Bank Australia & New Zealand
Audi is the MCA ArtBar Program Partner. The ArtBar is the MCA’s first regular evening series of events and
will take place on the last Friday of every month, starting in May. A surprising and sophisticated evening
of performance, music, and art, the event will transform the MCA into an after work social and cultural
destination. The Museum will commission an artist each month to curate the event and will host their own
ArtBar and present the evening through their unique vision.
“German luxury carmaker, Audi, is well known for sophisticated and progressive design. A partnership with
the MCA cements Audi as a leader in vehicle design and supports our customers with premium experiences
in the field of contemporary art”.
_Uwe Hagen, Managing Director, Audi Australia
Qantas is the Naming Rights Partner of the Qantas MCA Lounge, an exclusive space for MCA Ambassadors
and Qantas Platinum One members to meet, work and relax. Situated on the Museum’s ground floor,
overlooking Sydney Harbour and fitted out with furniture by world-renowned Marc Newson, it also has a
deck where lounge members will be able to dine al fresco serviced by the MCA Restaurant. Qantas is also
Supporting Sponsor of Marking Time and the MCA’s official airline.
“We have been an official airline and sponsor of the MCA for over 12 years. The partnership has gone from
strength to strength as our brands reflect the same focus of forward thinking and contemporary within the
community. The MCA venue is located in one of the best spots in Sydney and the events have become a
highlight for our customers and staff.”
_Caroline Yuen, Manager Commercial Sponsorships, Qantas Airways
Rio Tinto is the MCA’s Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander (ATSI) Program Partner. For the first time, the
MCA will be offering an extensive calendar of innovative programs throughout the year, that will engage
Aboriginal, Torres Strait Islander audiences and the broader general public. Dynamic initiatives, will foster
the development of skills within specialised fields and include workshops and programs connecting a range
of groups within the ATSI community with contemporary art and ideas. The 2012 schedule of activities will
include the MCA’s successful Djurali Youth Art Careers Workshops and Professional Development Program
for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Island Arts workers. Along with a number of related exhibition programs, the
Museum will be providing spaces for dialogue throughout the year to highlight and celebrate key events
within the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander calendar.

TECHNOLOGY UPGRADE FOR NEW MCA
The Museum of Contemporary Art Australia opens on Thursday 29 March 2012 with a significant technology
upgrade to benefit all MCA stakeholders. Hidden behind the new facade, and embedded in the newly
refurbished galleries, lies a network of cutting-edge technologies that will enable the MCA to deliver a
variety of new programs, an enhanced visitor experience and improved business operations.
Sponsorship by a range of technology providers has made the MCA’s transformation into a centre of
technology excellence a reality. The new building’s environmentally friendly solutions offer infinite possibilities
and boast flexibility, security, quality storage, resilience, automated management, high performance and
delivery. MCA Chief Operating Officer Euan Upston said: ‘I am delighted to see the range and quality of
our partners. They have helped the MCA achieve its vision to provide artistic and learning programs utilising
the latest technology. With their support, art and artists, education programs and creative engagement
can occur well beyond the walls of the Museum before, during and after the museum visit. With partners
such as these the MCA can truly claim to be Australia’s Museum of Contemporary Art offering a wealth of
enriching art experiences to all Australians’.
Nexus is a key partner who has worked with the MCA from the design and development phase through to
implementation. The MCA required an IT company that was capable of understanding the MCA’s unique
requirements which include not only the normal business operations of the company but also its educational
and exhibition needs. The network designed by Nexus allows the MCA to meet the challenges posed by
the various stakeholders within the company including artists, educators, venue hire operators, members
of the public and management for the MCA’s developing collection of contemporary art.
The network is supported by Telstra Business, the MCA’s Online Partner, through the provision of a
fibre optic line into the building which forms the backbone between the various IT nodes included in the
building, the new Veolia Lecture Theatre and National Centre for Creative Learning. This increase in
capacity will enable a wide range of educational programs to be delivered by the MCA over the internet
and via video conferencing. Polycom have provided state of the art HD video conferencing facilities for the
Lecture Theatre, Seminar Room, Digital Studio and Creative Studios allowing the MCA to link seamlessly
with schools throughout Australia. These facilities allow the MCA to bring artists, curators and other art
professionals directly into the classroom providing a unique learning opportunity. Through the provision of
a mobile video conferencing unit these services are also available in the MCA Venues and galleries.
The MCA networks rely on fast switching gear provided by Extreme Networks. Extreme have delivered a
network that has benefited from a ten-fold increase to 10GB and has grown from approximately 300 ports
on very old wiring to more than 1200 ports on a mesh of fibre, cat6 and cat7 cabling. Apart from the speed
of the switches provided by Extreme, their green credentials and environmentally sustainable solutions
have been a core driver of the MCA development.
New enterprise wireless systems provided by Aruba Networks enable the MCA to offer public internet
access, staff mobility and digital innovations that significantly enhance the visitor experience. Aruba
Networks have worked closely with the MCA to develop a custom WiFi-based location system that enriches
visitors’ experience of the MCA artwork interpretation app. This new technology allows visitors to discover
nearby content, wherever they are in the Museum.

New storage from EMC provides art archive level data systems as well as the best in market speed using
FAST (fully automated storage tiering), to deliver the day to day business needs for 10 lines of business
applications and education desktops on a fast turnaround.
DELL is another key partner providing high performance servers allowing the MCA to run ten times more
applications on the server platforms using minimum power, rack space and cooling to meet the minimum
carbon footprint requirements for IT. DELL touch screens are integrated into the digital classroom and DELL
KACE delivers lessons to students.
Security Consultants International designed the MCA’s security solutions by working closely with the
Museum to understand its risks and culture. The systems selected are world leading brands Geutebrück
for CCTV, and PACOM Systems for security alarms & access control. They provide a cohesive and fully
integrated easy to operate solution, featuring alarm monitoring, staff and contractor control and gallery and
back of house space viewing. The systems use the MCA IP network and latest megapixel high definition
cameras, discreet yet effective contactless access control and powerful feature sets to ensure that MCA
security is efficient and effective.
Finally, LG, the Major Partner of Volume One: MCA Collection is also an MCA Technology Innovation Partner
and is providing the entire Museum with state-of-the-art screens that enhance the MCA’s cutting-edge
technology delivery through high-quality, reliable equipment.
The MCA’s Technology Innovation Partners have committed to multi-year deals that will ensure the MCA
remains at the forefront of technology.

NEW MCA GETS A DIGITAL MAKE OVER
The Museum of Contemporary Art Australia is pleased to announce the launch of its new website and
smart phone apps. These technological developments will effectively enhance the Museum’s core
activities and use innovative technology to improve and enrich visitors’ experience before, during and
after their visit to the MCA.
The website’s new look and feel has been designed by Interaction Consortium, in collaboration with
Zumio and Toben, to reflect the MCA’s new visual identity and new wing. The website will provide a
fully integrated e-commerce experience and artfully engage with all visitors to the site. Improvements
include easy navigation and extensive online content for research and learning, dynamic pages featuring
artist and MCA staff voices, ‘what’s on’ pages featuring the latest news and events, and many stimulating
digital excursion options.
The website’s e-commerce feature offers exhibitions and events ticketing, the purchase of MCA store
products and membership fees and donations online to an international audience. To add to this, the
MCA team and Interaction Consortium have developed a range of Cloud-based APIs enabling immediate
transverse benefits between the e-store, e-membership and e-ticketing to facilitate a compelling,
integrated user experience. As Interaction Consortium Founder and Director Greg Turner says, “you
can become an MCA member from your phone anywhere in the world, and all the Museum’s systems
will know immediately, so the next time you walk into the shop or buy tickets from MCA’s ticketing
provider, you are already a member.” The e-store and e-membership will be available from 29 March.
The website will be hosted by the MCA’s online partner Telstra Business using the Telstra Cloud. This
enables the website to grow seamlessly in line with changing demand for MCA’s online services.
Developed with two of the world’s top smart phone app makers, Acoustiguide and Tristan Interactive,
the Museum’s new app, MCA Insight, provides digital interpretation for the MCA Collection and all
temporary exhibitions, including the opening exhibition Marking Time. In partnership with the WiFi
technology provider Aruba Networks, the MCA has developed a location awareness system for MCA
Insight which gives users access to information on the artworks around them, wherever they are in
building. The app also provides an interactive map of the Museum and multiple tours of artworks and
exhibitions, and will be freely available in the Android Marketplace and iTunes store via the website:
mca.com.au/apps
During their visit, guests can collect works from MCA exhibitions to create their own online gallery. This
gallery is both a digital representation of their visit and a place for further investigation, with long form
content about artists and works. This project is a key part of a museum-wide interpretation strategy that
connects wall labels, MCA Insight, the MCA Collection online and the user’s own gallery, to extend
the Museum experience. The app also has a listing of the day’s events within the Museum, upcoming
highlights and visitation information. MCA Digital Media Manager Keir Winesmith says “through an
exciting collaboration with our technology partners, we have developed an integrated system that allows
visitors to really explore the works they discover on our walls during, or after, their visit.”

Working with Kinesic, the MCA has also developed an augmented reality app called MCA OnSite. The
app, which runs on Apple iOS, Android, smart phones and tablets, allows users to discover interactive
content triggered by an image in a magazine, brochure, book or within the MCA. MCA OnSite can
overlay video, alternate imagery or 3D models and animations onto any image, in any context. Keir
Winesmith says “we have created a 3D model of the Museum that you can view from any angle and at
any size. It appears as if by magic right above an architectural rendering of the building; it is an amazing
way to experience the new wing”. This app will also be available for free on Android and Apple iOS.
Both apps will be available for free download from 29 March, when the Museum reopens.
