Janet Burchill and Jennifer McCamley have worked collaboratively and individually as artists since the mid 1980s. Their practice embraces a wide variety of media including sculpture, photography, film, video, neon and works on paper in works that critically engage with the history and forms of modernist art and their relationship to everyday life, reconsidered through feminist, psychoanalytic, filmic and spatial discourses.

Saturday 12 November / 12.30 -1.30 pm, at Monash University Museum of Art (MUMA), Ground Floor, Building F, Monash University, Caulfield Campus, 900 Dandenong Road

The talk is free to attend, but booking is advsed: muma@monash.edu or 9905 4217.

Works by Janet Burchill and Jennifer McCamley will be included in A Different Temporality, at Monash University Museum of Art, Caufield, for the 2011 Melbourne International Arts Festival.

A Different Temporality considers time as subject and metaphor in Australian feminist art practice from 1975 through to 1985.

A period when women artists were agitating for recognition in the broader Australian art community, this was a remarkable time of change both for women and for Australia as a whole. Politically diverse, A Different Temporality unearths the flash points of a powerfully influential period.

Encompassing time-based media such as performance, photography and film, this exhibition is a provocative series of intrusions from a time of uncommon artistic fecundity.

Curated by Dr Kyla McFarlane, the exhibition also includes works by Micky Allan, Bonita Ely, Sue Ford, Helen Grace, Lyndal Jones and Jenny Watson.

Work by Janet Burchill and Jennifer McCamley is the subject of an exhibition entitled Three Works at Peloton, Sydney. Exhibition dates: 6 - 29 May 2010.

Work by Janet Burchill and Jennifer McCamley is included in the group exhibition duetto at the Australian Experimental Art Foundation, Adelaide. Exhibition dates: 27 May - 26 June 2010.
