SYDNEY’S ICONIC MONSTER CHILDREN GALLERY TO WIND UP OPERATIONS IN DECEMBER 2010

LARGER NATIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL PROJECTS TO FOLLOW

FINAL SHOW TO INCLUDE ONE OF THE MOST IMPRESSIVE COLLECTIONS OF CONTEMPORARY ART AUSTRALIA HAS EVER SEEN WITH NOTHING OVER $500

THURSDAY 9TH DECEMBER 

Sydney’s iconic and internationally respected Monster Children gallery will hold its final exhibition in December of this year.
After five years of operation and over forty individual and group exhibitions, Monster Children directors, Chris Searl and Campbell Milligan, will close the doors of the gallery after the demand for proposed international and domestic creative projects and collaborations becomes a reality.

“The time has come to spread the brand to a much wider audience,” said co-director and creative director of Monster Children, Campbell Milligan. “At present we are only showing to the audience of Sydney and our goal has always been to showcase the artwork and creativity associated with our culture to the wider Australian population,” he said.
“We have many projects in the pipe-line that will see Monster Children and our contemporaries artworks seen by a wider audience and we are very excited about this new phase of Monster Children gallery. Although it might not be in Sydney, Monster Children gallery will take some shape or form in other urban centres,” he added.

Co-director and photographic editor of Monster Children, Chris Searl, said he is proud of what the Monster Children gallery has achieved over the past five years. “Thomas Campbell, Alex Kopps, Kill Pixie, Neck Face, Steven Powers, Zawada, Lister, Evan Hecox, Daniel Johnston, Ed Templeton, Jose Parla… the list goes on that has shown at the gallery. Our intention was always to bring this brand of art to Australia when no one else was doing it and with this in mind, we have achieved our goal.”

With the U.S launch of the magazine in March of 2010 (the first independent Australian magazine to launch in America), Monster Children has seen the brand grow rapidly and is now in a position to execute more creative endeavours.
Monster Children would like to thank all those individuals and companies who have both been patrons and sponsors of the gallery over the years.

The final show at the Darlinghurst location opens on the 9th of December from 6 pm. With artwork from the likes of Barry McGee, Ed Templeton and Mark Gonzales, this show is sure to be one of the best Australia has seen in 2010.

Keep an eye on Monster Children magazine (quarterly – March, June, September, December annually) and monsterchildren.com for upcoming projects.
