‘Photography is alive and kicking!If you are into Australian contemporary art then this is the exhibition for you – it’s photography that needs to be seen.’- Dr Michael BrandThis weekend at MGA you can explore two exhibitions that showcase excellence in Australian photography: the 2018 Bowness Photography Prize and Allusion & Illusion: the fantastical world of Valerie Sparks. Please join us for the excitement of the Bowness Photography Prize award announcement on Thursday 11 October - you can RSVP here. This night will also be the launch of Allusion & Illusion: the fantastical world of Valerie Sparks. Allusion & Illusion is the first in a series presented by MGA that profiles and explores the work of William and Winifred Bowness Photography Prize alumni. Valerie Sparks won the Bowness Photography Prize in 2016 for her work ‘Prospero's Island – North East’ from the series Prospero's Island (pictured above). This exhibition draws together key works, charting Sparks's significant practice and hinting at the exciting, immersive and innovative installations that will come next.
