00:02Maiden. Mother. Crone. Female archetypes historically used to constrain, now reclaimed, in a new
00:11exhibition featuring 70 works by a trio of internationally celebrated artists.
00:18People respond to the show on a bodily level. It's incredibly overwhelming.
00:23Two-time Archibald Prize winner Del Catherine Barton is the show's anchor point.
00:27Her extravagant works were an early inspiration for Berlin-based artist Emily Hunt, whose practice embraces magic and folklore.
00:37It gave me permission to completely lean into colour, into working with, you know, female figures.
00:44US-based Jess Johnson rounds out the exhibition with her dystopian, science fiction-inspired worlds.
00:50Like all three of us are just going very deep into our respective obsessive wormholes and our world building.
00:58Spanning a broad array of media, the art is maximalist and meticulous, energetic and excessive, intricate and intimate.
01:07Each of these artists oscillates between absolute strength and aggression, but simultaneously are not afraid to show a deep vulnerability.
01:18The exhibition runs until May next year.
01:21If people come, I hope that they realise that it's okay to be a messy, complicated human.
01:28Power unleashed and untamed.
