Change

27 October – 18 December 2010
 
Change explored the breadth and depth of the Monash University Collection, reflecting on the changing forms, circumstances and developments in contemporary art practice from the 1960s to the present day – from late modernism to our contemporary situation.
 
Inspired by – and drawing its title from – a neon work of the same name by the late Blair Trethowan, the exhibition signalled the potential for institutional change that MUMA’s new situation represented.
 
Director Max Delany said, “Change challenges us – to change our minds, our thinking, our behaviour, our ways of being, ourselves. This appeal to our senses is amongst the most vital roles contemporary art can play, and a guiding principal of the Monash University Collection since its establishment in 1961.”
