This 2010 ABC news segment, reported by Anne Maria Nicholson, a senior journalist at the ABC specialising in art news coverage, surmises the major renovation the MCA underwent from 2010-2012.[1]

Humphries’ 2012 review of the then newly renovated MCA provides information on the new floorplan, the public reception of the renovations and describes various major pieces included in the reopening exhibit.[2]

The MCA Heritage profile includes a history of the building and its various modifications, an analysis of the building’s aesthetic and architectural significance, and identifies the site as having considerable archaeological potential.[3]

Eccles details the collaboration between London’s Tate gallery and the MCA in jointly acquiring and displaying Indigenous art pieces and analyses the pieces themselves within an international context.[4]

Fitzgerald critically analyses the impact of the MCA’s Primavera exhibition on its 25th anniversary, using the perspectives of curators and artists involved in the project in the past.[5]

Paragraph 1 - History[edit]

The Museum of Contemporary Art Sydney is located just south of the landing spot of the First Fleet. The site originally housed two Commissariat Stores. The first, constructed in 1809, was designed by Lieutenant-Colonel Foveaux following the Rum Rebellion of 1808. The second store, facing George Street North, was constructed in 1813 under Governor Macquarie's authority. Both buildings were constructed using convict labour.[6] The State Government assumed control of the Commissariat Stores in 1901, which were subsequently leased to commercial tenants. In 1937, the Circular Quay Planning Committee recommended the Commissariat Stores be demolished to allow for the construction of a new Maritime Services Board (MSB) office, which had been displaced by the Circular Quay Railway.[6] Demolition was completed in 1939, however construction was halted in 1940 due to war restrictions. The project was resumed in 1944, with the MSB offices officially opening in 1952.[6] In 1984, NSW Premier Neville Wran announced the transformation of the MSB building into an art gallery, intended to house the Power Institute of Fine Art. Major renovations took place, including the creation of gallery spaces, a reception hall, and a café. The building was reopened in 1991 as the Museum of Contemporary Art.[6]
