The National Gallery of Australia has partnered with The Balnaves Foundation to commission an annual series of intervention art by Australian contemporary artists. Launching with Maze on 4 May, the series presents large-scale disruptive artworks by Sarah Contos, as well as virtual reality by Jess Johnson and Simon Ward.
A huge suspension work by Contos will dominate the NGA Foyer from 4 May with 1980s nostalgic flavour and 1920s flair, while Jess Johnson and Simon Ward create the first virtual reality (VR) interactive world for the national collection.
Balnaves Contemporary Intervention Series: Sarah Contos runs from 4 May to 24 September, NGA Foyer.
Balnaves Contemporary Intervention Series: Jess Johnson and Simon Ward runs from 4 May to 26 August, Contemporary Galleries.
