Panacea is a major exhibition, drawn from the City of Fremantle Art Collection, offering each of us some personal solace as we experience the worldwide shock and disruption of COVID19. Through thoughtful curation Panacea, from the Greek word meaning ‘a universal remedy’, is FAC’s invitation to the community to reflect and find restorative and optimistic human moments at this time of uncertainty.
Panacea comprises 148 works by 70 artists selected from the City’s Art Collection and includes paintings, drawings, photography, ceramics, prints and video. FAC curators André Lipscombe and Ric Spencer present Panacea as a journey through FAC’s spaces, a constructed narrative from home life to isolation, to re-emerging into an altered social world.
The exhibition brings together significant historical and contemporary artworks by WA artists including Marcus Beilby, Penny Bovell, Sharyn Egan, Jeremy Kirwan-Ward, Eveline Kotai, Jane Martin, Brian McKay, Kathleen O’Connor and Ken Wadrop.
Photographs are also prominent with inclusion of important works by WA photographers, Christine Gosfield and Graham Miller and a series of artist portraits by Brad Rimmer and Tom Gibbons.
Also included are several winning works from the prestigious Fremantle Arts Centre Print Award by national artists such as Mike Parr and Keith Cowlam, as well as numerous examples of ceramics by WA ceramicists, including Sandra Black, Maria Phillips and Gary Zeck.

Review : Playing the Man
See Saw Magazine by Ted Snell
"Miller is the quintessential chronicler of Australian suburban life, in all its richness and mundanity. This new body of work continues this project by exploiting the ambiguity of images, which, Robert Cook describes as “… the way that all photographs have elements of fabrication and truth-telling”. By mimicking the physical appearance of his childhood heroes, he reveals both the little boy’s awe and fascination for these men while concurrently interrogating how these tropes of masculinity have impacted on his adult self and those of his generation. The unsettling insight he presents to us in this body of work is that we may all be just playing the man we were conditioned to become."

Playing the Man
Turner Galleries, Northbridge, Perth
These playful and humorous images are a celebration of football and a nostalgic look at the past. Referencing bubble gum footy cards from the 1970's and 80's, Miller recreates himself as boyhood football heroes to explore issues of masculinity, identity, and cultural difference. Compared to today's highly stylised and groomed celebrities on Instagram and social media, footy luminaries on cards from this period are refreshingly unmanicured. Larrikin grins, dishevelled hair, hammed up poses and indifferent photography coalesce into comical portraits which defy the revered status with which these players were held. Hard men look surprisingly soft. Miller emphasizes the absurdity through the use of masquerade, using it as a strategy to question ingrained ideals of Australian masculinity and to comment on the difficulties of conforming to traditional notions of Australianness growing up as a person of mixed heritage.

Civilization: The Way We Live Now
NGV Australia, Federation Square
Civilization: The Way We Live Now is an international photography exhibition of monumental scale, featuring the work of over 100 contemporary photographers from Africa, the Americas, Asia, Australia and Europe with over 200 original photographs being exhibited.
In this increasingly globalised world, the exhibition explores photographers’ representations of life in cities as its key theme and presents a journey through the shared aspects of life in the urban environment. The selected works create a picture of collective life around the world and document patterns of mass behaviour. The exhibition looks at the phenomenal complexity of life in the twenty-first century and reflects on the ways in which photographers have documented, and held a mirror up, to the world around us.
A major publication is being produced by Thames & Hudson in parallel with the exhibition.

Freighting Ideas: How Did I Get Here?
with Tony Albert, Michael Cook, Petrina Hicks, David Rosetzky, Graham Miller, Toni Wilkinson, Anne Zahalka
Katanning Gallery, Collie Art Gallery, Ningaloo Centre, Exmouth, Bunbury Regional Art Galleries , Geraldton Regional Art Gallery, Carnarvon Library and Gallery, East Pilbara Art Centre .
Curated by Robert Cook, AGWA Curator of 20th Century Arts
How Did I Get Here? asks what exactly brought us to this exact place in life? What went wrong, what went right, what random acts of fate, have set us down, just so, in this place at this time?
The exhibition invites audiences to ask these questions about each work and its subjects. What forces have landed them in this moment, captured as themselves and as actors in a photographer’s drama? How did the work come to be?
Inspired by the 1980 Talking Heads song Once in a Lifetime, the first touring exhibition from Art Gallery of WA for twenty years, How Did I Get Here? brings together twelve key photographic works interwoven with various complementary pieces from the local collection. Each artist takes a unique and personal perspective – sometimes photo reportage sometimes imaginative fiction – drawing from real life to speak about the challenges of coming of age, cultural beliefs, race and religion, and our social selves.

WAu!
Curated by Jaana Lönnroos
WAu! exhibition is composed of the art of West Australian aboriginal people and the works of internationally acknowledged photography artists and a fine art graphic artist. The exhibition is carried out in co-operation with art center Warlayirti Artists Aboriginal Corporation in Balgo, Great Sandy Desert. The western state of Australia includes about one third of the vast continent, and art reflects versatilely its uniqueness. Art reflects the history of the country and its inhabitants with their characteristics – the short history of those with European background and the history of aboriginal people which is thousands of years old. We can see merger and clash, something strange and something oddly familiar to us. Isolation, sparsely populated country, deserted landscape and harsh conditions in nature may arouse feelings of identifying in a Finnish viewer.
The artists in the exhibition: Jacqueline Ball, Kevin Ballantine, Helen Clarke, Mike Gray, Imelda (Yukenbarri) Gugaman, Helicopter (Joey Tjungurrayi), Lucy Loomoo, Graham Miller, Marie Mudgedell, Patsy Mudgedell, Dora Mungkirna, Ningie Eileen Nanala, Bai Bai Napangarti, Elisabeth Nyumi, Kathleen Paddoon, Brad Rimmer, Angie Topsy Tchooga, Jimmy Tchooga, Juha Tolonen and Nora Wombi.

Instincts
Mt ROKKO International Photo Festival
East Gallery- Kobe, Japan
Curated by Emmanuel Angelicas
Produced by the Australian Museum of Contemporary Photography, ‘Instincts‘ presents a spectrum of practical and conceptual approaches that inquire into the complexity of Australia’s identity. The exhibition includes work by six photographers who work and live on the Australian continent. The artists Gilbert Bel-Bachir, Phil Bayly, Phillip George, Graham Miller, Polixeni Papapetrou and William Yang offer imaginative interpretations of the Australian condition, from the unique nature of southern landscapes to the peculiar narrative resonance that emerges from a land so steeped in symbolism and stories. Throughout ‘Instincts’ an uncanny poetry emerges, borne from a continent which can at once be characterized by isolation and an unusual interpenetration of diverse cultures. In their very heterogeneity, these works present the uniqueness of Australian photography and ask the question; Is there a certain visual matrix that we share or is it something to do with the colonized territory we occupy? Each of the photographers has a personal and a highly developed style and subject matter which ranges from abstraction to formal portraiture all embracing a visual instinct which conveys knowledge with lucidity.

Isolation and Optimism : the photographs of Graham Miller
Books and Arts, ABC Radio National, 7 December 2015
Isolation, disconnection and human frailty and reoccurring themes in the photographs of Graham Miller. The Perth-based artist is strongly influenced by American books and films, and brings a cinematic style to his portraits of people seemingly down on their luck. The Art Gallery of Western Australia will display works from Graham Miller's 15-year career in the exhibition, WA Focus. They include highlights from series taken in the Blue Mountains, on a road trip through America, in China and around Perth.
21 November 2015 - 28 Feb 2016
WA FOCUS GRAHAM MILLER
Art Gallery of Western Australia
Graham Miller is one of Western Australia’s most important photographers. He is known for his atmospheric images that combine cinematic vision with the eye-for-subtle-detail of a short story writer..
Generous in spirit and outlook, his works are emotionally rich and often moving portraits of people and places. Each portrait invites curiosity about the possible events that have brought his subjects to this point in their lives, and each landscape evokes the sensation of being fully within the urban and natural environments presented.
Included in this display are works from Miller’s most important series, Waiting for the Miracle 2010 that developed from Miller’s response to the Leonard Cohen song of the same name; All That is Solid Melts into Air 2013/2014 that charts the people and landscapes of the Blue Mountains around Katoomba; and American Photographs a body of work taken on an American road trip in 2009. The exhibition also include two works shot in China in 2010, five small duo-tone riso prints on the subject of looking, and several Australian works not yet exhibited by Miller.

CLIP Award 2014 - Contemporary Landscapes in Photography
PCP - Perth Centre for Photography
Winner of Judge's Commendation for Cyclorama Point
"CLIP 2014 is an international and exciting selection which charts the reaches of landscape in photography by a group of incisive and interesting photographers, who niggle and push at what landscape photography is and can be. This year, they have taken the medium into new conceptual realms, but also, always being acutely aware of the profoundly human position in the seemingly simple, but ever complex act of making or taking a photograph of the world around us. CLIP 2014 points to the persistence and relevance of the landscape in photography today. "

All That is Solid Melts into Air
Turner Galleries, Perth
"A world of sandstone and eucalypt and unregenerate weather, a place just fallen from the sky. The pitch of the night and the closeness of the stars within itand the sky asleep in the valleys at dawn: I came for that, and for the faces of vermilion stone that no one would ever own."
Mark Tredinnick, The Blue Plateau
Created in the Blue Mountains around Katoomba, these photographs explore notions of the sublime and are inspired by Northern European Romantic painting, including those by Caspar David Friedrich and Eugene von Guérard. The series endeavours to capture a visual poetics of place and explore the communion of people with the landscape. These images are not a documentary or journalistic account, but an ambiguous blending of impression and fact and an attempt to provide delicate evocations of human presence and hope.

Momentum : 21 Years PCP
Curated by Paola Anselmi
2013 is a milestone year for the Perth Centre for Photography. PCP is coming of age. It’s been an extraordinary journey of growth. From humble beginnings as the Photography Gallery of WA at the Bridge Gallery in William Street, to a second incarnation as the Photography Centre at ArtsHouse, and finally the Perth Centre for Photography on Brisbane Street and now in its new premises on Aberdeen street, the PCP’s future has never looked more positive. In over two decades of existence the PCP has made it its missions to foster, support and promote the best of photographic practice and practitioners in this state and beyond.
Momentum is a coming of age story. It's about looking back as well as ahead to new initiatives and growth.

Graham Miller Photographs
One Eyed Jacks Gallery
Brighton, United Kingdom
"Miller’s rich, cinematic photos look American – perhaps because they mine the history of colour photography –but actually take place in his Australian homeland. Almost too perfect to be candid, they bring to mind Philip-Lorca diCorcia’s Hustlers series. Every bit as polished, but less neon, it’s more small town than big city, with nods in that direction towards Alec Soth’s Sleeping By The Mississippi."

Making Pictures of People : Recent Perspectives on Photographic Portraiture
presented by FlakPhoto in association with the Nelson-Atkins Museum, Kansas, USA
A robust selection of works from 27 photographers sourced from within the online photo/arts community, this exhibition explores the breadth and diversity of portrait picture-making today.While some images emphasize the construction of identity through race, gender and class, others question the relationship between individuality and the ways we classify ourselves according to cultural imperatives. At the core of these different approaches is the artists' exchange with their subjects and the creative inspirations that drive them to make images that push photographic portraiture forward.

Anthology 2012
Southeast Museum of Photography, Florida, USA
The range and breadth of styles, techniques, themes and subject matter used by contemporary photographers presents a broadening and a deepening of the field of serious photography in ways that have re-energized and stimulated the entire profession. It was not so many years ago that so-called serious art photographers had just a few accepted styles, areas of practice and working methods that would be embraced by the worlds of museums, galleries, or in art publishing.
The photographers exhibited in Anthology 2012 represent much of this new range and are producing some of the most significant new work that is starting have an impact in the field. All of the artists are entering the solid core of their careers as their style and subject matter matures to reflect the concerns of a new generation of artists.

Looking at the Land - 21st Century American Views
A collaboration with FlakPhoto and the Museum of Art, Rhode Island School of Design, USA
Photographers aredoing what they’ve always done — looking at the land with a camera to explore,understand, critique and comment upon humankind’s relationship with nature. Thesubject matter has changed with each new generation, as have the impressions ofthe photographers behind the lens. This survey is by no means exhaustive but itdoes signal the beginning of a fertile new era in the ever-evolving landscapephoto tradition. It studies a cross-section of current landscape photography inthe documentary style. Most of these pictures depict actual places and theircontent says much about the United States and the American people. We live in apost-New Topographics landscape where an entiregeneration of photographers was born and raised in suburban sprawl. Wildernessis a foreign concept. Our environment has been significantly altered. We livewith nature at arm's length.These are 21st century photographic views;they're also personal perspectives that illustrate current practice inlandscape picture-making.

The Truth is not in the Mirror - Photography and a Constructed Identity
Haggerty Museum of Art, Milwaukee, USA
Photography as a medium has always been actively concerned with describing identity. While a portrait is typically an artistic representation of a person where verisimilitude is the goal, here the inquiry is questioned and expanded. Rather than employing a camera to create an objective document, the artists in this exhibition are often involved in constructing narrative sequences that pose questions with open-ended outcomes. As the title, The Truth is Not in the Mirror... suggests, photography has the power to imply, construct, and/or deny a narrative. Many of the photographers are contemporary storytellers and, in this sense, their work reflects facets of our ever-changing precepts about family, identity, truth and fiction.
