Mish Meijers: dermatologists hate her!

MISH'S UPCOMING EXHIBITION "DERMATOLIGISTS HATE HER!" OPENS FRIDAY THE 7TH OF JUNE, 2024 AT 5.30PM

CATALOGUE COMING SOON...

Mish Meijers furthers her investigation into the deluge of contemporary life. How it intersects the absurd and oblique with cat click bait (or whatever floats your boat). And then unnerves with serious and disturbing current world events.

Hashed together in an ever-lasting gob stopper of information that challenges how we cope, how we can even begin to digest the indigestible. How we skate the fine line of popcorn politics and action.

A painting and ceramic exhibition that dives into the cornucopia of heartbreak, war, loss, escapism, seismic shifts and an unnamed cast waiting with tears in their eyes, tongues defiantly out inside the Data Palace.

Mish Meijers is an interdisciplinary artist whose practice experiments in surface tensions: how one material conforms or abrades against the matter of another. Whether in actuality, or within conceptual content, she distorts the inherent worth and significance of her objects with regard to popular culture, gender determination and functionality, in an alchemic and at times discordant sensibility.
 
Meijers uses installation, sculpture, drawing, painting, digital media, performance, and ceramics to translate and communicate her current concerns and interests.

Meijers has been a finalist in the following; Fishers Ghost art prize, Hobart Art Prize twice, The Substation Prize, The Paul Guest drawing prize, Tidal, The Churchie Prize and the Glover prize. She has been a recipient of numerous Australia Council and Arts Tasmania grants.

She has exhibited widely in Australia in various exhibition structures that include artist run initiative galleries, public and commercial galleries. She has held residencies and exhibited in New York, Indonesia and in Paris. She was awarded a Qantas Foundation Art Encouragement award and was commissioned by Gertrude Contemporary Gallery, Monash University Museum of Art and Detached Cultural Organisation to create new works for The Collector Project.

Meijers work is held in public and private collections.
