Robyn Stacey: As Still As Life
Sun 27 August - Sun 1 October

Robyn Stacey: as still as life leads audiences into the tantalising world of the still-life tradition.
The exhibition opens with an exploration of still-life photographs drawn from MGA’s collection, placing the genre and Robyn Stacey’s work into context Stacey is one of Australia’s leading photographic artists whose fascination with the still life genre inspired the magnificent works in this exhibition.
Through the contemporary medium of photography Stacey brings historical collections to life on a monumental scale, interrogating what these collections meant for the original owners and brilliantly interweaving personal historical narratives into sumptuous still lifes.
Exhibition Launch and Curator Talk : 2 September 2023 at 2pm – admission free but please register for catering purposes Robyn Stacey: as still as life | Exhibition Launch & Curator Talk Tickets, Sat 02/09/2023 at 2:00 pm | Eventbrite
