Congratulations to Augusta Vinall Richardson, announced today as one of five artists in Primavera 2025: Young Australian Artists at the Museum of Contemporary Art Australia, curated by Tim Riley Walsh. 'The selected artists for Primavera 2025 reflect the innovation and sheer talent of the emerging contemporary Australian art world. Over the course of close to fifty studio visits I conducted across the country I saw intriguing shifts in how young practitioners are engaging with a rapidly changing socio-political and technological landscape. How this translates into creative practice is the focus of this presentation. My ongoing interest as a curator is art’s power to make us look anew at subjects that typically evade representation or understanding. What is out of view or exceeds our senses. These five artists help broaden our world view and begin to unravel the complexity of the current era.' Exhibition dates: 05.09.25 - 08.03.26
