Join the discussionAmerican artist, Nick Cave is well-known in the art word for Soundsuits, a series of artworks that are instantly recognisable. Think abstracted full-body, wearable sculptures sourced largely from flea markets and created in response to the Rodney King beating and 1992 LA riots. Cave’s latest work Until, addresses the deaths of Eric Garner, Trayvon Martin and Michael Brown and issues of gun violence, race relations, and gender politics in America, through maximalist scale. Cave’s Carriageworks installation is his largest and most ambitious project to date. Comprised of thousands of found objects, Until creates a sense of stepping into a visually chaotic sense of play to complex issues.

TarraWarra Museum of Art is currently showing Patricia Piccinini’s otherworldly pieces in a four-month-long exhibition alongside works from the late Australian modernist artist Joy Hester, considered one of Piccinini’s key influences. Patricia Piccinini and Joy Hester: Through love… draws visitors into Piccinini’s distinctively weird and wonderful blurred lines between what is considered human and animal while exploring the connection between the two artists. Visitors to the exhibit follow the evolution of Australian art from Hester’s period with brush and ink on paper through to Piccinini’s sculptures, videos, photographs, and sketches. With over 50 pieces on display, the exhibition is the first time these artists have been showcased together.

More than 40 of the Tate Britain’s most beloved works have been brought to the National Gallery of Australia in Canberra, for major exhibition. Focusing on Pre-Raphaelite artistic movement that started in 1848. Included in the outstanding collection are iconic pieces such as John Everett Millais’ Ophelia and John William Waterhouse’s The Lady of Shalott. Pre-Raphaelite artists often worked collaboratively on meticulously detailed, colourful and layered compositions. The rebellious movement drew inspiration from the great love stories of history and literature, the tempestuousness of lustful entanglements, and the wonder of religious icons. Love and Desire exhibition is supported by an additional 40 works loaned from other British and Australian collections.

Body Remembers is the first Victorian show of Moffatt’s photographic series, Body Remembers, and video work, Vigil. Moffatt produced these pieces for the 57th Venice Biennale when she represented Australia. In Body Remembers, she draws on her personal experiences to explain broader experiences of colonisation while Vigil cuts together footage from the 2010 Christmas Island asylum seeker boat capsizing tragedy with images from iconic Hollywood imagery. These pieces by Moffatt fracture myths around the Australian experience.

Australian artist and social commentator Ben Quilty has been delivering urgent visions of our world through vivid, richly worked and often turbulent paintings for most of this century. This exhibition traces the arc of his work and measures his influences and inspirations – from his early reflections on initiation rituals performed by young Australian men through to his experience as an official war artist in Afghanistan; his campaign to save the lives of Bali Nine pair Andrew Chan and Myuran Sukumaran; his visits to Lebanon, Lesbos and Serbia with author Richard Flanagan and his intimate portraits his family and his friends. Curated in close consultation with the artist, Quilty presents a portrait of a socially engaged artist, a critical citizen, who wields paint to draw attention to our responsibility as human beings in an increasingly fraught world.

The rivalry between Henri Matisse and Pablo Picasso is one of the most important stories of modern art, and the subject of the NGA’s major exhibition this year, Matisse/Picasso. Drawn from some 40 important international collections, Matisse/Picasso shows how these two pioneers of Modern Art both shared the need to confront the challenges set by the paintings of Paul Cézanne and mined each other’s work to enhance their own.
