The Cross Art Projects presents midling 2 (Larrakia: Together), a selection of new and remade works by Gary Lee.
Drawing on the artist's personal archive of historic family photographs and artworks (photo-based and illustration), the exhibition brings together key strands of a practice which redefines notions of cultural identity, masculinity and beauty from a Larrakia perspective.
A second iteration of the exhibition midling, shown at Coconut Studios as part of the 2023 Darwin Festival, midling 2 offers a broader selection from Lee's recent foray into hand-coloured photo-based prints and a new presentation of photo-portraits including one-off works and others drawing on series Nice Coloured Boys (1994-ongoing), Skin (2002/03), Darwin Lads (2006) and Day Visitor (2010). midling 2 is Lee's fifteenth solo exhibition in as many years, and his first solo exhibition in Sydney.
The exhibition is a stage for the Sydney launch of Heat: Gary Lee, selected texts, art & anthropology (2023). The anthology edited by Maurice O'Riordan-who also curates the exhibition-spans five decades of Lee's writing on art, his own and others, and Larrakia and Indigenous culture.
