It was in May 2020 that Belinda invited artists Todd Fuller and Remi Wörtmeyer to take part in her exhibition 'Close to Home'. During this time, all of the artists were struggling with the uncertainty and logistical pressures of being locked up at home.
@remiwortmeyer, an artist, choreographer and principal dancer for @nationaleoperaballet created "Just Keep Moving" (2020) a five-minute video performance. Shot in black and white, Remi moves in front of two large curtain-draped windows. His movements begin gentle, before his breathing gets heavy and his gestures more abrupt. The tension that builds in this work conveys the frustration many movement-based professionals faced, suddenly shuffled indoors with limited space.

Photographs from TRENT PARKE'S 'The Black Rose' (2007-2013) are now showing as part of ‘Present Company’, opening this weekend at The Museum of Art and Culture Lake Macquarie. Curated by Meryl @izkusstvo.
These works can be viewed through Trent's artist page on the MR website (link in bio).
"I am standing still in the backyard of my Newcastle home. Down at the very back, where the tin pool used to be.
It is late. The sun has slipped from the horizon and the once blue sky is now white. The colour desaturates from the dark surrounding landscape.
I am looking back at our white weatherboard house.
Behind it, a dense hill of black silhouetted gum trees. (What is left of the bush after the sprawl of the 70's took place)
From the left of the house, one of the many towering trees in our yard suddenly starts falling. Birds, cicadas, flying insects, shaken from their perches evacuate. Fleeing into the evening sky as the gum tree comes crashing down.
I do not move.
The massive tree lands at my feet and the earth shakes.
Then another starts to fall and another. Possums jump from branch to branch.
They continue to crash at the base of my feet, missing me by centimeters.
Every time a tree lands and does not hit me I think 'boy that was lucky’. (Something my dad would always say)
In the end I am completely surrounded.
Boy was I lucky.
I am lucky."
Part 1. Backyard Dream, from the series, The Black Rose, by TRENT PARKE aka @chillioctopus

'Rising Tide' is a cabinet of ash wood that houses BELINDA FOX’s seven-panel wrap around painting of undulating waves and a concertina artist book, which features in her current exhibition 'Close to home'.
Belinda and co-creator WILFRED KALF state: “This work is all about the surprise of the interior space. It is a true reflection of the crashing anxieties, the uneasiness abound and a deep desire to harness the chaos and find the strength required to endure”.

The exquisite work of ANNIEBELL MARRNGAMARRNGA in our latest group exhibiton from Maningrida Arts & Culture...
"I learnt how to weave from my mother, Nancy Djulumba, who passed away a long time ago. I first made
coiled baskets, twined bags and string bags. I then learned how to paint from my husband [Dick Nadjolorro].
My favourite subject is the yawkyawk ngalkuburriyaymi, female spirit, who lives in the water at Kubumi. It is my husband’s Dreaming. I represent her in my bark paintings, in my timber carvings and also in my weaving."

As tomorrow is a public holiday in Germany (find out more in our post tomorrow) this evening marks the end of ROBERT MALHERBE'S solo exhibition with Michael Reid, his second of 2020!
After a beautiful offering of works in 'The Human Landscape' at Michael Reid Sydney in June, his series 'The Darlinghurst Suite', all painted in Robert's Darlinghurst studio in inner Sydney, made it's way to Berlin. These works can still be viewed ONLINE for a short time.
Thank you @robert_malherbe for an incredible output of works in 2020. Thank you to our colleagues in Berlin & Australia, and thank you to our collectors. We look forward to sending these paintings on to their new homes.

"For as long as I can remember I have yearned to be in nature. When I enter a forest I feel as though I have come home. This deep love of nature informs my life and my art practice."
– Tamara Dean
Dean describes her work as “symbolically charged”, her works “aim to bridge the separateness that we as humans create in our minds between ourselves and nature”.
NOW REPRESENTED by Michael Reid Sydney + Berlin, discover more of @tamaradean’s work online through our website.

Alongside Berlin Art Week and Art Gallery Weekend 2020 we are pleased to present Robert Malherbe's first solo exhibition at Michael Reid Berlin. Titled The Darlinghurst Suite, this new body of work was created from Malherbe's inner-Sydney studio, which he has occupied for almost twenty years.
The Darlinghurst Suite is a personal and private gaze, one that quietly reveals the personality of both artist and sitter. Known for his heavy impasto application of oils, each work is a seductive portrayal of the human figure.
Malherbe is driven by instinct and works ‘alla prima', only from life. His minimal palette confidently captures the immediacy of gesture and light – fleeting moments in a vibrant impressionistic style.

"Paul Yore is a hoarder in many ways. His obsession is a catalog of cultural symbols, imagery, and motifs you might find chaotically arranged within a crime scene. Yore is also a worldbuilder, the material of which is a staggering cache of cultural, sexual, historical, and political imagery that makes up his artistic identity.
His work is a peephole into a mind that rapidly becomes voyeuristic, dealing with socially sensitive topics as well as images of questionable taste. Bringing them to the forefront is not about shock value, it's simply what artists should do. Art can inspire questions on a range of topics, including the conditioning and experiences that have formed our beliefs and morality. Great art has the power to change your mind and hopefully your life."

INSTALL DAY for
'Awakening'
by JOSEPH MCGLENNON
September 2 - 13, 2020
A major new body of work, presented an offsite location in Sydney's Eastern Suburbs. Exploring fire and rebirth, McGlennon's new series, 'Awakening', took him to parts of the country badly affected by bushfires in the early months of 2020.
"The resilience of the Australian landscape is legendary but we are living in unprecedented times. We need an awakening.
A rebirth of ideas. Global warming, over farming and water distribution have contributed to weakening this resilience.
My Black Cockatoo portraits appear defiant and resolute. They are pointing to the AWAKENING this land so desperately needs, and stand as guardians over the life returning from the ashes." --- @josephmcglennon

There is no better feeling than unwrapping a delivery box to find some superb ROBERT MALHERBE'S, ready to adorn our gallery walls!
We loved seeing images and footage from Robert's SOLD OUT Sydney exhibition in July, which makes it even sweeter to have a new suite of works to enjoy in person here in Berlin. You do really need to see these paintings in the flesh to feel the remarkable depth and movement of the forms.
Works have already captured the attention of local and international collectors, so make sure you get in touch to ensure you don't miss out!

‘The 2020 Tree’ by GERWYN DAVIES at the Queen Victoria Building Sydney | The Inspiration...
Responding to 2020 and the idea of making something magical from our collective mess, @ger.wyn creates nimble and resourceful art pieces out of unassuming icons of the Australian suburban landscape. Reawakening them from their monotony, objects are distorted and warped, playfully modifying the all too familiar to create sculptures and ornaments that glisten, shimmer and shine. ✨

Following the success of Gerwyn Davies' recent exhibition 'Fur', we are thrilled to announce the artists full representation by Michael Reid Berlin!
In celebrating this new venture, we look forward to bringing you even more insights into his latest collaboration with @theqvb Sydney, which features the iconic '2020 Tree' as well as Gerwyn's works displayed throughout the QVB.
Find out more about these projects on our website now. Hit the link in our bio!
"This project is a celebration of the mundane, the mediocre and the low brow. It responds to 2020’s barrage of unwanted gifts by making something magical from our collective mess... Everyday objects are distorted, twisted and warped, playfully modifying the all too familiar to create sculptures and ornaments that glisten, shimmer and shine. This spectacle of a tree upends tradition - if we really are living in “unprecedented times” then we need symbols absurd enough to live up to that." --- @ger.wyn

Head over to @michaelreidsydney today for a GALLERY TOUR of their current exhibition, 'Spéirling' by @lukeshadbolt in their Facebook and Instagram Stories.
In its final days, 'Spéirling' further explores LUKE SHADBOLT'S lifelong fascination with the sea...
"The ocean has always been a constant in my life, for as long as I can remember now. There have been subtle changes in how I’ve interacted with it over the years, but the framework has mostly been the same. It’s a place of mental and physical escape, release, reset. Daily rituals, camaraderie, wonder." --- @lukeshadbolt
