MCA @ the MCA: calling all Sydney Beastiefans!

[MsPacMan]

In Sydney we have a gallery called the “Museum of Contemporary Art”; but we all just refer to it as “the MCA”. So when two boys from my town decided to pay tribute to Yauch a few months back; they thought “where better than at the MCA?!!”

Check this out: http://vimeo.com/43588064

MCA at the MCA! Surrealism and tomfoolery - in true Yauch style.

…………..in aid of a great cause (Cancer Council of Australia).

And I have an UPDATE from the boys:

News just in..........

"Hi! So our unauthorised guerilla tribute to MCA at the MCA (http://vimeo.com/43588064 ) has just been commissioned as a piece of real, proper art! Thanks to a chance meeting with renowned video artist Shaun Gladwell, we've been invited to repeat the MCA tribute at the Art Bar event in the MCA this Friday.
PWR2MCA!"

Did they finally get all the landscaping done in front of the MCA? We were there in May and saw it all ripped up...

Cool stuff!

Yep, the new bit is done. It looks like a cube version of the Guggenheim.

Here, look: http://www.abc.net.au/radionational/programs/breakfast/mca-rennovation-opens/3914520 (the old building is on the left of the pic; the white box part is the new bit).

Or maybe the box that the Guggenheim came in?!!!! hahahaha

They're still doing a bit of gardening out the front of the old building - a few barriers around the grass. Other than that; it's finished!

PS. come back and visit us again soon! :)
