Gina Fairley talks to Queensland Art Gallery’s Nina Miall about the new set of challenges facing the curation of international exhibitions in Australia.
Within days of NSW and QLD lockdowns, the idea of borders had a sharp reality for curator Nina Miall, who was moving to Brisbane to take up a position with Queensland Art Gallery / Gallery of Modern Art (QAGOMA) as Curator of International Art.
In a further curiosity of timing, the Queensland institution has chosen to again replenish its International Department at a time when the world is not travelling, and when issues of sustainability and global movement have become key conversations in how we engage, and how we connect authentically.
Miall is joining Geraldine Kirrihi Barlow, Head of International Art, to make what is recognised, within curatorial circles, as an incredible duo.
Barlow said the appointment of Miall, ‘will add a lot of momentum to the work we are doing. Nina has this incredible skill set – she has worked in recent years with contemporary artists, but also spent time with Royal Academy in London, so has that historic grounding.’
