Simryn Gill's intriguing art operates experimentally across a range of ideas, methods and media, including photography, objects, collections and text works. This major exhibition – produced by the Museum of Contemporary Art – focuses on Gill's new and recent works from the past five years, and includes a selection of works from her time living in Adelaide, early in her career. 

Curated by Russell Storer, the exhibition gives emphasis to the artist’s experiments with methods of display, and her interest in materials and the circulation of art and ideas in the wider world, that shift their meanings and value as they travel.
