Infinite Peruse was featured at MCA Australia in Sydney, bringing the artist's sequential neon work to Australian audiences for the first major museum presentation in the region.
Southern Hemisphere Debut
The MCA Australia exhibition "Neon" was a comprehensive survey of neon art from the 1960s to the present, with Infinite Peruse selected to represent contemporary American practice.
The work's presentation in Sydney marked an important expansion of the artist's international presence, reaching audiences in the Southern Hemisphere.
Harborside Installation
The MCA's location on Circular Quay provided a stunning backdrop, with Infinite Peruse visible from Sydney Harbour and creating a dialogue with the harbor's nighttime lights.
This setting connected the work to the maritime history of Sydney while introducing neon as a contemporary art form to Australian audiences.
