MARS Gallery will present new works by Australian artists Atong Atem and Miranda Hine for Sydney Contemporary 2025. Atong Atem and Miranda Hine share a compelling commitment to storytelling that challenges dominant narratives.
Developing her medium, practice and her voice as an Australian artist, Atem's new series 'This Happened To You' expands on her ongoing exploration of family, lineage and mythology.
Also presenting works from the the artist's archive as light-works, the 2025 iteration of Sydney Contemporary will recall the iconic textiles, compositions and elements that have characterised Atem’s work over the last ten years.
MARS is also proud to present Gander at Sydney Contemporary 2025, a series of new paintings by Brisbane-born, London-based artist Miranda Hine, marking the artist’s debut at the fair. Hine will return to Australia this September to present Gander at the MARS booth in Carriageworks.
Through her small-scale oil paintings, Hine’s practice researches and reflects on the act of collecting, preserving and assigning value to material culture, building on the artist’s fascination with British narrative formats and ‘cosy’ TV programmes.
After completing her Master of Museum Studies at the University of Queensland in 2022, Hine received the 2022 Brett Whiteley Travelling Scholarship and Kangaroo Valley residency, courtesy of the Art Gallery of New South Wales. In 2023, Hine was also named a finalist in the Art Gallery of NSW’s prestigious Wynne prize.
