15.01.2022 In the series of bird paintings, colour and vision are interlinked to suggest coevolution and life forces that are ever-responding and mixing at the threshold of our awareness. For instance, In Stealing other artists’ ideas (Painting for Mike), the roosters in Mike Kelley’s Cocks and Balls (1988) textile are replaced with eastern koels. Part of the cuckoo family, the birds lay their eggs in the nests of other birds species who raise the cuckoo chicks as their own. Likewise, by using the archive of art, artists form symbiotic or parasitic relationships with the archive of art.

14.01.2022 MADELEINE KELLY SPIN OUT, SPUN IN 2 - 23 FEBRUARY 2019 MILANI GALLERY, BRISBANE, QLD... Spin out, spun in explores the aesthetic potential of circles, light and colour in relation to modernism’s legacy an inherited, unstable environmental and socioeconomic ground. The title reflects the sense of disorientation associated with the pursuit of material and cosmic idealism in a society gravely ‘high’ on entropy.

07.01.2022 Are they too beautiful? "The dark glow of the mirror in Santiago Carbonell’s mural, Mexico City" Madeleine Kelly reviews the beautiful revolution in Santiago Ca...rbonell's murals for the Mexico Supreme Court. Read more: https://garlandmag.com/article/the-dark-glow-of-the-mirror/

04.01.2022 Looking forward to exhibiting new works in my show 'Spin out, spun in' alongside solo shows by Liz Gower and Torin Francis. The kinetic work pictured, 'Mama Ocllo', transforms painting into an immersive spaciotemporal and sonic field. Drawing from the work of James Clerk Maxwell, who employed spinning disks to explore the differences in mixing light and mixing pigments, the work engages with fundamental issues of colour perception that bring aesthetics into the scientific fie...lds of optics and physiology. In Incan mythology, Mama Ocllo, a fertility goddess, taught women the art of spinning thread. Her magical pre-modern origin reflects the generative revolutions of the structure. In this work, light is a metaphoric thread of vibrant transitions reflected from spinning different parts of the coloured spectrum, yet the harmonic vibrations and wail suggest humanity’s low blow on natural systems. This work also finds precedents in recent projects with similar rotating disks by Tobias Rehberger and Olafur Eliasson and references Marcel Duchamp’s Anemic Cinema and Rotoreliefs, and Sonia and Robert Delaunay’s vibrant Orphic compositions.

03.01.2022 ‘What the centre cannot hold’ my exhibition of new paintings at Ipswich Art Gallery will be on display until Oct 7, 2019. Thank you to the amazingly generous st...aff who helped me install the works. The paintings take images of local flowers and seed pods as a starting point. Pictured here is ‘Axis of Dream’ 2018. The strangely lit scene of two horses is more than reflective, a not quite mirror image signalling the visual analogies from which it arises. https://www.ipswichartgallery.qld.gov.au//what-the-centre/ image: Madeleine Kelly, 'Axis of Dream' 2018 oil on polyester 152 x 111.5 cm.

01.01.2022 Excited to be making new works for my Open Studio project at the Gallery of Modern Art (GOMA) opening 10 October 2020 and on show until 31 January 2021. Pictured here is a sponge, painted pink to heighten its semblance to an ear. This detail is from a work (sculptural painting) in progress, 'Structural Affinities' (a rare case of a work named in advance of completion)!
