Primavera 2025: Young Australian Artists
Mondays and Fridays, 10am to 5pm Friday 5 September 2025 to Monday 9 March
Primavera: Young Australian Artists presents the work of early-career artists living and working in Australia, aged 35 years and under.
In its 34th year, curator Tim Riley Walsh brings together five artists investigating society’s relationship to industry and the machine in the 21st century. Across installation, sculpture, video, and expanded painting Francis Carmody (VIC/NSW), Alexandra Peters (VIC), Augusta Vinall Richardson (VIC), Keemon Williams (QLD) and Emmaline Zanelli (SA) reflect how new technologies and abstract modes of production and distribution are influencing art and art-making.
Their works demonstrate how, despite the integration of machines in both creative and everyday lives, many people are increasingly unaware of how goods are made or function. The exhibition proposes that we now live in a ‘technical culture’, where the relationship between human and machine is deeply intertwined.
