Julia Gutman wins Archibald Prize 2023 for portrait of MontaigneSydney-based artist Julia Gutman has won the Archibald Prize 2023 and $100,000 for her portrait, Head in the sky, feet on the ground, of singer-songwriter Montaigne.The 29-year-old first-time Archibald Prize finalist is one of the youngest winners in the 102-year-history of the prize. Gutman’s win also marks the 13th time the Archibald Prize has been awarded to a woman (11th woman to win) since it began in 1921.Gutman was delighted and amazed when Art Gallery of New South Wales director Michael Brand phoned to tell her that she had won this year’s Archibald Prize.‘I’m so elated and overwhelmed to have won. Shocked, dumbfounded, but very happy. It’s honestly completely surreal. I’m so grateful to be working at a time when young female voices are heard’, said Gutman.Montaigne and I have been friends for a few years and there is a lot of alignment in our practices; we are both interested in creating our own forms and approaches rather than strictly adhering to any one tradition.‘Montaigne’s work defies genres, while her mercurial soprano has become an indelible part of the fabric of Australian music.’Gutman is a multi-disciplinary artist who reuses found textiles to produce painted ‘patchworks’ that merge personal and collective histories to explore themes of femininity, intimacy and memory. She was included in the Primavera 2022: Young Australian Artists exhibition at the Museum of Contemporary Art Australia, was a finalist in the 2021 Ramsay Art Prize and was awarded the Create NSW 2020 NSW Visual Arts Emerging Fellowship.Montaigne is a Sydney-based singer who has become an important figure on the Australian indie music scene. Art Gallery of NSW director Michael Brand said Gutman’s painting was selected as one of 57 finalists and then as the winner from 949 entries for the Archibald Prize.‘Like many contemporary artists, Julia is interested in the expanded field of painting. In this remarkable tender portrait of a young musician who is making her way in a tough business, we see an intimacy and vulnerability that is truly compelling. I congratulate Julia on creating this magnificently worthy winner,’ Brand said.The Archibald Prize and the Wynne Prize winners are decided by the Art Gallery’s Board of Trustees. Board president David Gonski said, ‘I congratulate all of the finalists in the 2023 Archibald, Wynne and Sulman Prizes. ... See MoreSee Less

NSW Government to push to raise SCG Precinct concert capThe NSW Government has directed Venues NSW to seek regulatory approval to lift the SCG Precinct concert cap from an average of four major events per year to 20.Currently the SCG Precinct and the new $828 million Sydney Football Stadium is only allowed to host four concerts per year.This restriction has meant that Venues NSW has been unable to host international artists such as the Foo Fighters, Bon Jovi, Billy Joel and potentially Beyoncé.Each international artist is estimated to bring $5-7.5 million per show of economic benefit into the NSW economy, supporting thousands of jobs.At a time when the local economy is recovering from the impacts of COVID-19, this cap as it currently stands is costing NSW businesses $40-60 million a year.The cap has also resulted in a reduction of important major cultural events, with key events such as the Sydney Gay & Lesbian Mardi Gras After Party forced to shift to a smaller venue.Minister Kamper has directed Venues NSW to undertake the necessary planning and environmental applications to modify the historic restrictions.The NSW Government will ensure the consultation is comprehensive and will invite all community stakeholders to participate, including local community groups, major operators and surrounding landowners, as well as neighbours and local businesses.This will bring the SCG precinct in line with many comparable stadiums around Australia and the world.If the application, the cap could be lifted as soon as October this year.NSW Premier, Chris Minns said:“Sydney is a global city and we should be able to host global acts from around the world.”“The cap means NSW is missing out on millions of dollars a year in economic activity, and the tourism and jobs it brings with it.“In lifting this concert cap to 20 per year, we could bring in an additional $1.3 billion for NSW businesses over the lifetime of the stadium.“We need to utilise our entertainment venues to their fullest potential and show to the rest of Australia and the world, that NSW is now open for business.” ...
