Have you got your copy of SIRIUS? Back by popular demand, this book describes an extraordinary story of survival against the odds and traces the design, life and community of one of the most notable Brutalist buildings in Australia. Although the fight to save its social housing function was not successful, the building was saved and this special book tells the story of many long time residents, as well as the architecture and importance of design in Sydney's social history.

You may have read a lot about Russiaā€™s Avant Garde artists, but what about Ukraineā€™s modernists? In the Eye of the Storm: Modernism in Ukraine, 1900-1930s presents the ground-breaking art produced in Ukraine in the early 20th century, focusing on the three key cultural centres of Kyiv, Kharkiv and Odesa. Against a complicated socio-political backdrop of collapsing empires, World War I, the revolutions of 1917 with the ensuing Ukrainian War of Independence, and the eventual creation of Soviet Ukraine, several strands of distinctly Ukrainian art emerged.

The price is right. Fiona Hall 1994
The price is right. Fiona Hall 1994

Have you seen Fiona Hallā€™s works in the MCA Collection? Get there this week before the it closes as part of the Artists in Focus exhibition. Among the works on display is ā€œThe price is rightā€ : the title of a long-running television quiz show, but also a form of ā€œcolloquial wisdom suggests that everything has its ā€˜rightā€™ priceā€. This installation signals exactly the opposite: lights housed in now-obsolete Tupperware containers flash out a text in similarly obsolete Morse code that is inscribed in English on a ceramic plate: ā€œI have the misfortune of not being a fool.ā€ In its turn, this quote is borrowed from Charles Dickensā€™ 19th-century novel Little Dorrit. #fionahall #australianart #contemporaryart #installation #sydney #mca
