Next Friday May 31st I am curating the Artbar at the MCA:

 “Celebrate MCA ARTBAR driven by Audi first birthday this May as you experiment with the theme of weird science curated by Sydney artist Keg de Souza. From the 1985 teen sci-fi film classic by John Hughes to the literal meaning of weird science, Keg invites you to interpret the evening as you see fit. Create Kelly LeBrock out of a computer program, or ponder the vast meaning and strangeness of our modern scientific accomplishments.

Step inside an inflatable planetarium or take in some screenings from the infamous Mu Meson archives. Encounter Wade Marynowsky’s robots, Diego Bonetto’s test-tube gardens or Justice Yeldham’s unhealthy obsession with sheets of broken glass. For our very first birthday you can expect strange things to be happening in dark the corners of the MCA. Hypothesise on the sculpture terrace for one of the most magical views of Vivid in Sydney.

It’s art but not as you know it”

 Featuring: Simon Yates’ Frankenstein monster robot, his Diana Jones Trilogy; Wade Marynowsky’s The Discreet Charm Of The Bourgeois Robot; from the MuMeson archives Miss Death & Jay Katz will be screening segments on Nicola Tesla, Wilhelm Reich, Stan Meyer, The Hutchinson effect etc; Lucas Abela aka Justice Yeldham will play sheets of glass; plus Singing Sadie may be tap dancing with a theramin; Rizilli from Menstruation Sisters is performing; also Skyneedle from Brisbane/Melbourne will be performing and mind warping us with hypnotherapy; and work by Megan Cope; Hannah Furmage; and Diego Bonetto &Madeline Fountain are making Weed Science and then there’s an inflatable planetarium and some curiosity show fun…..Whew! please come and make it more fun than the combinations of a ginat computer, 2 nerds, a storm, 80s special effects and Kelly Le Brock!!
