Exhibition Text

The Intelligence of Painting throws a spotlight on the energy of contemporary painting in Australia today through the work of 14 Australian women artists.

The Intelligence of Painting responds to the MCA’s commitment to be a platform for living artists and the Museum’s privileged role in showcasing their art to the broader public in Australia and to the world.

Sullivan+Strumpf acknowledge the Indigenous People of this land, the traditional custodians on whose Country we work, live and learn. We pay respect to Elders, past and present, and recognise their continued connection to culture, land, waters and community.
