One of Australia¹s foremost multidisciplinary artists,
Lyndal Jones was chosen by the Australia Council as
the sole Australian exhibitor at the 2001Biennale of
Venice.
Jones¹ work Deep Water/Aqua Profunda was created
specifically for the Australian pavilion at the
Biennale and will form the basis of her exhibition at
the MCA. This exhibition will be complimented by a
number of earlier works by Jones including The
Prediction Pieces (1981-1991) drawn from the MCA¹s
Contemporary Art Archive, and From the Darwin
Translations: Spitfire 1 2 3 (1996).
Based on footage shot in Venice and on Sydney
Harbour, the five large video projections of Deep
Water/Aqua Profunda blend a collage of voices in
English and Italian with layers of sound and images,
drawing parallels between Venetian canals and the
activity of Sydney¹s Circular Quay. The work depicts
a meshing of languages and cultures, and examines
the watery images that link Venice and Sydney, two
cities dependant on ferries and vaporetti.
Following the MCA show Deep Water/Aqua Profunda
will open at the Lawrence Wilson Art Gallery,
University of Western Australia on 7 February 2002.

The MCA has a number of unique contemporary
art collections. At present there are no dedicated permanent
collection galleries within the Circular Quay site; curated exhibitions drawing from
the Collections are regularly integrated into the MCA's changing
exhibition program.
Located at Circular Quay west, on the harbour foreshore of Sydney's
business district at the entrance to the historic Rocks precinct, the MCA is
close to
all forms of public transpost: bus, train and ferry.
The museum entrace is via Circular Quay and disability access is via
George Street, The Rocks.
