THE 2026 ADELAIDE BIENNIAL OF AUSTRALIAN ART

Yield Strength reveals how materials, selfhood and society are tested – and transformed – under pressure. Twenty-four artists push their mediums to build visual complexity, or contort them to convey the curious side of existence. Remaining attentive to aesthetic details and receptive to the intricacies of life, the exhibition fosters intimacy through layered viewing experiences across the Art Gallery of South Australia, Samstag Museum of Art and Adelaide Botanic Garden.
