In 1994, Isabel Marant launched her brand, creating designs that epitomised the effortlessly chic wardrobe of French women. Over two decades later, in 2017, she expanded into menswear, introducing collections for the cultured French man. However, no collection since has made a significant impact on viewers or buyers.

Thoughts spring out of Campbell Addy and Ibby Njoya like slinkies, new from the plastic box. One mentions a drawing class, the other references a university; one says “what” and the other asks “why?”; one poses a theoretical problem and the other offers a pragmatic solution. Their dialogue is meandering and chaotic, making it all the more difficult for a third-wheeler to follow along. There are some clear throughlines nonetheless. The first is that collaboration is an essential part of creating art.

However much you try to avert your eyes, Julie Rrap forces you to look back. Past Continuous, Rrap’s exhibition at the Museum of Contemporary Art Australia, challenges the matrix of female representation in art by turning the viewer’s gaze back on itself. Over several decades, Rrap has employed a multidisciplinary approach to redirect conversations on ageing, desire, and beauty—many of which collide in this retrospective. Born in Lismore in 1950, Rrap's life was non-traditional from the outset.

From our globalised, perfection-obsessed world, Alessia Gunawan’s photography scours the tensions between reality and fantasy, the human and the non-human. Born in Jakarta and raised between the Indonesian archipelago and Europe, Gunawan’s early life fuels her exploration of forces like globalisation, technology, and popular culture.

Jedda-Daisy Culley’s latest body of work is a lucid expression of internalised fears. Expanding on her multidisciplinary practice, which centres the complex realities of female experience, Culley splays open feminist ideas of sex, intimacy, motherhood and objectification. The works summon personal memories, conversations and anxieties about contemporary womanhood into metaphysical portraits and dreamscapes that blur the line between figuration and abstraction, the corporeal and ethereal.

Sydney- and Tokyo-based photographer Sly Morikawa began taking photographs as a form of escape, seeking to create a fictional visual world that could supersede her own. As her practice evolved, however, her approach shifted. She began using her camera to engage more deeply with her immediate surroundings. “I think now it’s less about trying to escape and more about giving myself a reason to live and interact with the world. Photography pulls me out of myself.
