The 2016 Adelaide Biennial of Australia Art takes inspiration from the Wunderkammer, delving into a world of wonder and enchantment through the eyes of Australian contemporary artists.
Magic Object will offer a space where free associations and insights are made possible by artists and audiences, where artists’ interests in the talismanic, in cultural rituals and material riddles enchant the viewer
The Adelaide Biennial of Australian Art is the country’s longest-running survey of contemporary Australian art.
Presented by the Art Gallery of South Australia, the Adelaide Biennial provides an opportunity for Australian artists to realize projects of a significant scale and impact.
The last four biennials alone have brought more than 100 contemporary Australian artists to new audiences
