Bharti Kher's 'The skin speaks a language not his own 2006'

To mark the end of the first decade of this millennium, the Gallery presents this major exhibition occupying the entire GoMA building, focusing exclusively on works created and acquired between 2000 and 2010.

It will draw on the Gallery’s extensive contemporary collections and also feature new commissions and a select group of loans from Australian and international lenders. The exhibition will be broad in its geographic and generational scope including over 200 works by more than 140 artists from over 40 countries.

The Children’s Art Centre presents interactive art works and projects created by exhibiting artists especially for children and families.

A number of film programs will also screen, including 21st Century Cinema: A New Tomorrow.

Other than some of the films, the rest of the 21st Century exhibition is free, and runs 10am – 5pm during the week and 9am – 5pm on weekends, until Monday 25 April 2011.
