Sunday Girl - The Multi-Dimensional Woman

This pop-up exhibition shines a spotlight on at the female artist, a platform for expressing and sharing a woman’s perspective as we operate our multi-tasking layered lives as daughters, sisters, mothers, partners, thinkers, givers, workers, and creatives.

Contributing artists have been invited to offer a visual description or impression of themselves or another woman, a portrait to be interpreted in either literal or abstract ways.

Sunday Girl refers to the notion of Sunday being the time we give ourselves off, to engage in what we really want to do. It is also a nod to the 1979 Blondie track from the album Parallel Lines.

The group of 20 will consist of established, experimental and unexpected artists, encouraged to exhibit under a pseudonym.

This is for three reasons; the first is a splash of anarchy, removing the elitism in viewing and appreciating art. The second, a veil of anonymity offers opportunity to show another dimension to her practice and self. It is a chance, a challenge or escape for established artists to exhibit another part of them, exploring subject matter or mediums not usually relating to their practice. For the woman beginning to forge her own artistic path, it softens the fear of revealing herself to a public audience. And third; it ignites curiosity and ensures a bit of fun!

Fun Fact: Our opening night, the 11th of October is also the International Day of the Girl declared by the United Nations in 2012 to support more opportunity for girls and awareness of gender inequality faced by girls worldwide.
