MPRG Summer Exhibition Launch

Refreshments served after formalities. Please register your attendance.

Know My Name: Australian Women Artists
The Know My Name Touring Exhibition follows the National Gallery’s major two-part exhibition of Australian women artists. It is part of a series of ongoing gender equity initiatives by the Gallery to increase the representation of all women in its artistic program.

Natalya Hughes - The Interior
The Interior is an immersive installation combining sculptural seating, richly patterned soft furnishings, and uncanny objet’de art, nestled around a hand painted mural to generate a stimulating space to unpack our collective and unconscious biases.

Kylie Stillman - Glimmer Warning
Kylie Stillman is best known for her book sculptures and woodcarvings. Stillman uses scalpel blades, jigsaws, sewing materials and drills to alter objects and create negative spaces that depict ‘signs of life’. This exhibition of Stillman’s recent work includes a site specific wall based artwork as well as her intricate works on paper and sculptures.

We are also presenting Crossing Paths: Women supporting women in the MPRG Collection which explores the connections between four women artists in the MPRG Collection; Guelda Pyke, Nancy Grant, Dorothy Braund and Barbara Brash.
