Michael Lindeman: The Portrait as Anti-Selfie

10/09/2020

Sydney-based artist Michael Lindeman makes paintings, drawings and sculptures that challenge existing power structures around contemporary art with humour and self-deprecation. Lindeman has been a finalist in the Archibald, Wynne and Sulman Prizes five times, and in 2010 he was awarded the Sulman Prize for his work Paintings, prints & wall hangings. Lindeman’s new self-portrait I... inverts the conventions of the genre, combining a masked image with a stream of consciousness that contemplates his own role as an artist.

Eko Nugroho: Life in Jogja

14/05/2020

Interweaving local traditions and global popular culture with his own political sentiments, Eko Nugroho’s distinct figures and imageries have established his practice as one of the most iconic in Indonesian contemporary art today. The influence of street art, graffiti, and comics in Nugroho’s practice is unmissable; his striking, graphic aesthetics often presented in large-scale community murals. Much of his works are also grounded in local culture: Traditional batik and manual embroidery are quintessential elements of his practice; and Nugroho’s masked figures allude to his fascination with traditional Javanese shadow theatre, to which masks are integral. These masks figures became Nugroho’s signature to represent different roles and identities of people in the society. We had the opportunity to chat with him on his practice and and how his studio in Yogyakarta, Indonesia, operates during this uncertain period.

Tony Albert: Home and Heart

14/05/2020

NIRIN for me is a representation of both home and heart. These are both symbolically and intrinsically linked, one does not exist without the other. It is from this unique individual centre of both home and heart that we understand the world around us, relationships and interconnectedness with both people and Country.

COVID-19 Announcement

20/03/2020

Dear friends, We apologise in advance for adding to the inundation of messages regarding COVID-19. With the impact of the virus being felt globally and throughout our community, we’d like to take the chance to affirm our priorities at the gallery. First and foremost is the health and safety of our artists, staff, clients, visitors, and the community in which we work. We are following advice and guidelines from the Australian Government and monitoring updates closely. To ease pressure on our international artists, the 2020 program in our Sydney gallery will be adjusted to accommodate the rapidly-changing situation. Local artists will be highlighted for the remainder of the year, with exhibitions by Eko Nugroho (Indonesia) and Jeremy Sharma (Singapore) postponed until 2021. We are very excited to announce an exhibition of new works by Ramesh Mario Nithiyendran joining the roster of exhibitions that already includes Glenn Barkley, Grant Stevens, Darren Sylvester, Sydney Ball, Lindy Lee, Sam Leach, Michael Zavros, Angela Tiatia, and Alex Seton. Further measures to ensure the safety of our artists, visitors and employees are the reduction of on-site staff hours and increasing professional cleaning and sanitation at the gallery. The gallery remains open from 10am-5pm, Tuesday - Saturday. If you would like to organise a private viewing in the gallery, our team would be happy to accommodate. Public openings will no longer be scheduled until official advice suggests otherwise. Beyond these measures, we’re creating innovative content and ways for you to engage with us and our artists while respecting suggested physical distancing protocols. We are being responsive and adaptive to the situation, and we trust these measures will decrease the risk without compromising our duties to our artists and staff. While there are limits to what art can achieve with battling the virus, we believe that art plays an important role in maintaining our sanity in these troublesome times. We hope to provide any respite that we can through the positivity of our artists. Finally, we’d like to sincerely thank you for your continued support. At the core of what we do is support the practice of artists, and we remain committed to our mission of connecting you with the artists you love, without compromising the well-being or values of our community. As a community, we are all in this together. Warm regards,
