Over the past decade Ugo Rondinone has refined a vocabulary of languid figures, candy-coloured forms and melancholy landscapes. For Project 13, Rondinone presented two solo exhibitions, his first in Australia. In addition to a configuration of works in a variety of media, he created ambitious new sculptures for each of the two venues, in Sydney at the Museum of Contemporary Art and in Melbourne at the Australian Centre for Contemporary Art. Both exhibitions were realised as Kaldor Public Art Projects in partnership with Naomi Milgrom Kaldor.
