Mitch Cairns — Free TAFE & Railway Cake | at The Commercial | drinks with the artist Saturday 03.06.23, 2—4pm exhibition 03.06.23 — 08.07.23 It is with great pleasure that The Commercial presents Mitch Cairns: Free TAFE & Railway Cake, the artist's sixth solo exhibition with the gallery. Cairns is a finalist in the current Archibald Prize at the Art Gallery of New South Wales (until 03.09.23) and is included in the exhibition Thin Skin at Monash University Museum of Art, guest curated by Australian, London-based writer, curator and former editor of frieze magazine, Jennifer Higgie (20.07.23 — 23.09.23). [I]t isn't objects or reality that he paints so much as sensibilities or identities established through poetic chains of association. —Wes Hill, excerpt from exhibition text image: Mitch Cairns, Ageless Compliment, 2023, oil on linen, framed, 78.50 x 68.50 x 4.50 cm (photo: Jessica Maurer)
