If you avoid heading down to the Australian Centre for Contemporary Art because of the amount of times the exterior is used to sell naff cars, then you're probably not alone. However, the quality of art inside has generally been excellent since the obtuse rusty oddity opened. This week, ACCA reopens after a renovation with two exhibits, Daniel Von Sturmer's Field Equation and a group show, Uncanny Nature.
Field Equation promises simple experiences of big questions, a system of plinths with videos and sculptures that expand and contract with time. Uncanny Nature's artists have taken cues from the familiar world and combined them with a variety of berserk influences; escalators lead up to nowhere, machines print songs with bubbles, and paint refuses to just dry. The combination of the two exhibits promises you won't leave the all-new rusty shed 'plinthed off.' (You're fired. - Ed.)
Field Equation: Daniel von Sturmer. Uncanny Nature Artists: PaulSietsema (USA), Christine Borland (UK), Michael Landy (UK), JamesIreland (UK), Neil Emmerson, Robert MacPherson, Hany Armanious, TonyClark, Noel Skryzpc.
