Overlapping Magisteria: The 2020 Macfarlane Commissions

ACCA is pleased to present Overlapping Magisteria: The 2020 Macfarlane Commissions, the second edition of a multi-year partnership that supports ambitious projects by contemporary artists. Overlapping Magisteria transforms ACCA’s galleries with major new works by Robert Andrew, Mimosa Echard, Sidney McMahon, Sam Petersen and Isadora Vaughan.

Encompassing living organisms, kinetic installations and immersive assemblages, Overlapping Magisteria pays attention to multiple ways of knowing, sensing, feeling and interacting with the world. The works by participating artists draw on various social, cultural, technical and material forms, unsettling the lingering divide between nature and culture towards more complex realms of knowledge and experience.

Curators: Max Delany and Miriam Kelly

The development of Isadora Vaughan’s new work has been additionally supported by the Australia Council for the Arts.
The development of Sidney McMahon’s new work has been additionally supported by Create New South Wales.
