A six-storey high evolving artwork will cover the Museum of Contemporary Art (MCA) for three months. 


The east-facing façade of the MCA will undergo cleaning and instead of leaving the scaffolding blank the museum has enlisted artists Mike Hewson and Agatha Gothe-Snape to collaborate, and create a five-stage evolving work as the scaffold is constructed and dissembled over 89 days. At the height of the process, the artwork will be more than 2,300 square metres in early August.
