Adelaide Contemporary is a new cultural paradigm that places the idea of the “contemporary” within an expanded time  frame linking the deep history of Aboriginal culture, the historical and geographic  breadth of the Art Gallery of South Australia’s collection, the perpetual present of festivals and events, and art into the future.

A matrix of unique spaces unbound by disciplinary categories range in  size, height, infrastructure and light quality, and provide infinite  flexibility for work across media. Daylit galleries above and light  controlled galleries below are linked by a ground floor Super Lobby – a  radically welcoming extension of the city and its gardens. The street level Super Lobby is a valve between art and the world, extending the public space of the city between the two gallery floors above and below.
