‘Encounters’: More time to view Rotation 1 exhibits
View(s):
The Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art Sri Lanka (MMCA Sri Lanka) has extended Rotation 1 of its current exhibition ‘Encounters’ until May 22. The three artworks that provide the starting points for Rotation 1 include one painting by Senaka Senanayake (b. 1951) and two paintings by George Keyt (1901–1993) titled ‘The Friends’ (1982) and ‘Pounding Paddy’ (1952).
The two paintings by Keyt provide the starting points for two displays that explore stories and ideas about love, intimacy, friendship, and family. The museum has extended this rotation by over a month to allow audiences more opportunities to visit the exhibition and look at artworks by Pradeep Thalawatta (b. 1979) in relation to Keyt’s ‘The Friends’ and other artworks by Asai Rasiah (1946–2020), Richard Gabriel (1924–2016) and Susiman Nirmalavasan (b. 1982) in relation to Keyt’s ‘Pounding Paddy’.
Located at Crescat Boulevard, Colombo 3, the MMCA is open all seven days of the week from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Entrance to the museum and participation at all its public programmes are free of charge. For visitors who cannot visit during daytime opening hours, the museum is open until 8 p.m. on Fridays.
