Congratulations to forthcoming exhibiting artist, Keemon Williams, who has been announced as one of five artists in the prestigious 34th edition of Primavera at the MCA, curated by Tim Riley Walsh. Primavera runs 5 September 2025 - 8 March 2026.

Williams will present an ambitious solo show of new work at LON Gallery, 17 September – October 11.

In its 34th year, curator Tim Riley Walsh brings together five artists investigating society’s relationship to industry and the machine in the contemporary era. Across installation, sculpture, video, and expanded painting Francis Carmody (VIC/NSW), Alexandra Peters (VIC), Augusta Vinall Richardson (VIC), Keemon Williams (QLD) and Emmaline Zanelli (SA) reflect how new technologies and abstract modes of production and distribution are influencing art and art-making. Their works demonstrate how, despite the integration of machines in both creative and everyday lives, many people are increasingly unaware of how goods are made or function. The exhibition proposes that we now live in a ‘technical culture’, where the relationship between human and machine is deeply intertwined.
