Maximum Madness: Art Inspired by Mad Max

Bringing together a range of artists paying homage to their favourite post-apocalyptic (anti)hero, it’s time for Maximum Madness. George Miller’s genre-defining Mad Max film series has grown from a tense, low-budget Ozsploitation cult hit into a sprawling post apocalypse action opera, redefining science fiction along the way.

With its grab bag aesthetics, subversive politics and lustful, irreverent approach to Australian hoon culture, Mad Max has remained a cultural touchstone, and a highly influential convergence of tropes, images and iconoclasm, ideal inspiration for visual artists.

With: Isabel & Alfredo Aquilizan, Karike Ashworth, Martin Bell, Penny Byrne, Patrick Connor, Rod Coverdale, Alex Cowley, Claire Healy & Sean Cordeiro, Emma Gardner, Shaun Gladwell, Franck Gohier, David Griggs, Reg Mombassa, Adam Norton, Phoebe Paradise, Brian Robinson, David Sawtell, Ian Smith, Karen Stephens, Brendon Tohill and Paul White. Curated by Jonathan McBurnie.

For Lardil and Yangkaal writer and curator Maya Hodge, Archie Moore’s presentation at this year’s Venice Biennale is a powerful symbol of reckoning—one that asks the world to bear witness to the long shadows of colonial violence and clears space for possibilities ahead.
