Mega

🥁 excited to announce the ARIs participating in ARI BANAL(E) 📍saturday 12 september The Hyatt Canberra as part of @canberraartbiennial 2026 'Mega' 💥 Mega is an independent artist-run initiative established in 2024 in Redfern, Sydney. It reflects co-directors Anthea Duffy and George Squires’ shared interests in sculpture, installation, and other extended forms of spatial practice. Mega presents regular programming of solo and group exhibitions by local, interstate, and international artists, with occasional off-site projects. Mega aims to support ambitious and experimental sculpture and site-responsive practices. In addition to exhibition space Mega has also provided artists with studio space for the production of new work. The initiative is currently entering a new stage as its occupation of the Hot Vine art compound – also home to artist studios, Minerva gallery, and Landslide books – comes to an end. Anthea and George look forward to cultivating further opportunities for enriching and challenging exchange over the coming years, whether over here or there. @_mega_mega_mega_mega_ photo: Anthea Duffy and George Squires BAM, 2026 Newspaper, textile, acrylic, PVA, MDF, PVC, steel wire, 210 x 210 x 480cm Photo courtesy of the artists
