Our Grandfather Road: The (gendered) body and place in contemporary southeast Asian art
Artists include IGAK Murniasih, Arahmaiani, Maria Indriasari, Restu Ratnaningtyas, Fitri DK, Maharani Mancanagara, Sekarputri Sidhiawati, Olga Rindang Amesti, Citra Sasmita and Ipeh Nur Beresyit (Indonesia); MM Yu and Wawi Navarroza (the Philippines); Bussaraporn Thongchai and Kasarin Himacharoen (Thailand); Soe Yu Nwe and Emily Phyo (Myanmar) and Sam Lo (Singapore).
Drawn from a Sydney private collection of southeast Asian art, Our Grandfather Road focuses on the gendered dimension of art from the region. Bringing together the works of seventeen artists—sixteen women and one non-binary—the exhibition spotlights a diversity of artistic practices, each testing the very definitions and categories of gender and place which appear to bind them together. Yet, from this polyphony of voices, shared concerns emerge. Offering a platform for expression, Our Grandfather Road extends an invitation to reflect on questions of femininity, identity and the body in relation to its physical environment, while exploring the forms of activism and resistance taking root in contemporary Southeast Asian art.

Daniel Boyd: Treasure Island
Treasure Island is the artist’s first major exhibition to be held in an Australian public institution. Featuring more than 80 works from across his nearly two-decade career, the exhibition unpacks the ways in which Boyd holds a lens to colonial history, explores multiplicity within narratives and interrogates blackness as a form of First Nations’ resistance.
Until January 2023

Jointly curated by the Art Gallery of New South Wales and eleven residents from Woolloomooloo, Local Rhythms and Actions is the first exhibition in our Open Studio program, which offers new insights into the Gallery’s collection.

The Aquilizan Studio
Making it Home
Alfredo and Isabel Aquilizan are creating one of their impressively scaled cardboard sculptures for the opening of the Art Gallery of New South Wales’ expanded building in late 2022. In a project titled Making it Home, selected school and community groups have been invited to create their own cardboard ‘dream homes’, which may become part of the Aquilizans’ sculpture and its new speculative neighbourhood.

Cities Foretold
Louise Allerton, Tracey Clement, Kalanjay Dhir, ek.1 (Emma Hicks and Katie Louise Williams), Zachariah Fenn, Sarah Fitzgerald, Karen Lee, and Janet Parker-Smith.
Cities Foretold is a Willoughby City Council curated exhibition which reimagines the Chatswood CBD and the future of all cities in general. Cities are places where we converge, live, work and connect. As the world faces unprecedented rates of urban expansion, we need to create a new vision for the cityscape. Featuring installation, sculpture, printmaking, drawing, video, technology-based art and temporary public art, this group of artists re-think the role of cities in the future. The exhibition also includes a community-based program, the Emerge Willoughby Map Project. Join artist Janet Parker-Smith for weekend drop-in workshops to learn about printmaking and to contribute to a bas relief version of the Emerge Willoughby Map.
5 October—16 October
Embellished
Robyn Kennedy
Embellished explores Robyn Kennedy’s enduring passion to embellish and beautify artworks, objects and wearable art. The exhibition includes artworks crafted from recycled contemporary textiles, aged cloths, papers from Asia and photographic images. Kennedy’s intention is to present a contemporary decorative art form which simultaneously acknowledges the past, embraces multi-cultural diversity and delights and inspires her viewers.
19 October—30 October
CHINA Moments in Time
Marcus Reubenstein
Over a period of ten years, Marcus Reubenstein travelled to more than 30 cities across China, capturing candid images of ordinary Chinese people both in traditional and modern settings. The artist’s hope is to capture moments in such a way as to prompt the viewer to consider the individual subjects against the backdrop of an enormous country of 1.4 billion people.
