We are thrilled to confirm that MGA - Monash Gallery of Art will re-open Saturday 21 November 2020.

20.01.2022 Get to know more about the Bowness Photography Prize finalists' images. Each image is accompanied by an artist statement, which can give insight into the artists’ intention. Today, we deep dive into the theme of 'family'. Amos Gebhardt challenges conventional concepts of family in their work ‘Family portrait’; understand the significance of a grandmother in Lee Grant's 'A portrait of Lena's Armenian grandmother' and consider the nature of absence within maternal relationships... in Madeline Bishop's 'Yuyi and Yola'.

15.01.2022 "From Amos Gebhardt we see Family portrait (2020), a triptych featuring ‘subjects who defy normative notions of kinship and identity as a mode of survival within Australia,’ challenging conventional views of what family looks like, staged in hyper-real settings surrounded by objects and botanicals, which reflect on personal and cultural ties."

03.01.2022 "I’m delighted to be in the running for the Bowness Prize. On the surface, A mare in the grass is an image of a historic graveyard site at Kiandra in the Kosciuszko National Park after the bushfires had passed. I took the photograph in early January when the landscape was a sea of ash, everything was suffused with this strange red light. The scene is reduced to something very quiet."
