Tell Me Tell Me is the first stage of a two-part cultural exchange of art and ideas between the Museum of Contemporary Art (MCA, Sydney) and the National Museum of Contemporary Art (NMOCA, Korea), as part of the 2011 Australia-Korea Year of Friendship.

The exhibition takes the year 1976 as an important historical starting point for this dialogue: the year of the second Biennale of Sydney, which brought the works of important Korean artists to Sydney for the first time, and of Nam June Paik and Charlotte Moorman's visit to Sydney, organized by Kaldor Art Projects. The curators have investigated the trajectory of the ideas discussed at that time, many of which were concerned with the very nature of art creation, into the present.
