THE WAVES: a group exhibition upping at the shores of heteronormative sanctity
Curated by Kate Britton
Sullivan+Strumpf | Sydney
18 August - 15 September 2018

Opening reception on Saturday, 18 August, 3 - 5pm
Curator talk in conversation with Diana Baker Smith from Barbara Cleveland and Thea Perkins at 4pm

Including artists: Karen Black, Ohni Blu, Polly Borland, Barbara Cleveland, Christine Dean, Joanna Lamb, Lindy Lee, eX de Medici, Sanné Mestrom, Judy Millar, Dawn Ng, Thea Perkins, Katy B. Plummer, Justine Youssef & Leila El Rayes, Hiromi Tango, Angela Tiatia and Jemima Wyman

The Waves borrows its title from Virginia Woolf's novel of the same name, in which many voices unite in a single narrative. This exhibition likewise unites many voices to tell a single yet multivalent story. This story is about what happens in a white cube occupied by women and non-binary voices, and why we should be listening.

The Waves brings a diverse group of artists into a conversation about feminism, bodies, access to and occupation of space, collective action and gestures of intersectionality. In making their work, each of these artists chip away at the walls and barriers that are thrown up by patriarchal systems, biological determinism, trans-exclusionary feminism, colonialism - the list goes on.

The feminist project has been characterised by waves, a lapping at the shores of heteronormative sanctity. The works presented from these artists engage with different aspects of this project: political, social and labour-based action; reclamation and celebration of diverse bodies and identities; intersectionality; and an emergent collective anger - #metoo.

In bringing together selected works from Sullivan+Strumpf's roster of artists with guest artists, The Waves establishes new lines of sight between the work of diverse women and non-binary people.

JUDY MILLAR
My Body Pressed
7 - 28 April 2018
Sullivan+Strumpf | Sydney

Opening tomorrow, 3 - 5pm
With the artist in conversation with Grant Stevens from 3.30pm 

In her first solo exhibition in Australia since the acclaimed, Reverse Cinema (Sullivan+Strumpf 2015), Judy Millar returns with a series of new large-scale paintings and works on paper which explore her deep connection to the landscape of the West Coast of New Zealand, where the artist lives and works. The exhibition coincides with Millar's inclusion in Unpainting, a large international overview of abstraction at the Art Gallery of New South Wales in Sydney. This precedes a major survey exhibition of her new work next year at Kunstmuseum St. Gallen, Zurich.

The golden sunsets, black sands and wild expanse of the Pacific Ocean off New Zealand's Western Coastline, imbue these works with a palpable sense of place; a place which Millar imagines through painted gesture and an ongoing consideration of the relationship between surface, space and time. As with her celebrated immersive environments, these spatial paintings invite the viewer to consider the artist's experience of space and time merging.

"The Land is in everything I do... The sunsets, the evening light on the water, the colours. I think they just go into your brain and you take them up somehow - there's a kind of glowing-ness." - Judy Millar in conversation with Alison Veness for 10 Magazine, February 2018.

The paintings in My body Pressed continue this line of thought, invoking a sense of the body's interaction with nature in their blood-red,jade green, and bruising purple tones, which also recall the bleed of coloured inks in comic books. In this way, Millar draws attention to the often ambiguous and subjective relationship between the real world and the mediated world of images, and the ways in which that uneasy alliance can influence our experience of painting.

Rock Drop
Major new site-specific commission
Until July 2019 | Auckland Art Gallery, NZ

Enter the South Atrium and encounter a major new site-specific commission, Rock Drop 2017 by one of New Zealand’s most experimental and internationally recognised artists, Judy Millar.

Playing with the complexity of this vibrant junction between the Victorian, neo-Classical and 21st century architecture of the building, Millar’s towering painterly installation responds to the dynamics of the space and appears to change and morph from different perspectives, provoking new and exciting experiences for Gallery visitors.

Acquired by Auckland Art Gallery Toi o Tāmaki with support of Auckland Sculpture Trust, Auckland Contemporary Arts Trust and Auckland Art Gallery Foundation 2016 annual appeal.

JUDY MILLAR
Scape8: New Intimacies
Public Art Commission
Christchurch, New Zealand
3 October - 15 November 2015

Judy Millar is one of New Zealand’s foremost painters. Her work has garnered critical acclaim both locally and internationally, and she represented New Zealand at the 2009 Venice Biennale. The central theme of her work is the relationship between the illusory and the physical, between our private inner world and our material existence, and the way the activity of painting can synthesise these contradictory ways of being.  Millar is best known for her large-scale digitally printed and painted canvases, which loop and undulate through architectural spaces, exploring ideas of scale, and the compression of time and space. Her work for SCAPE 8 New Intimacies, Call me Snake, pushes these ideas beyond the enclosed architectural spaces she has previously worked with, into the Central Christchurch landscape.

JUDY MILLAR INTERVIEW
i-D MAGAZINE

In the past decade, acclaimed New Zealand artist Judy Millar's varied work has filled a German gallery with technicolor tidal waves and unspooled wild brushstrokes across the walls of a Renaissance church for the 53rd Venice Biennale. Always a fan of an enveloping spectacle, her latest show Reverse Cinema at Sullivan+Strumpf draws on painting, sculpture, and light projections to create an installation that is both soulful and cerebral. With the show involving her most audacious work yet, i-D chatted with the artist about her allergy to categories, falling in love as an intellectual experiment, and why she dreads public art.
