Queer Contemporary Liz Bradshaw: I didn't expect to live this long

I didn’t expect to live this long is an exhibition of large-scale sculpture and installation works that offers a personal and political queering of time, space, materiality, and ideas by NAS alum Liz Bradshaw. Integrating new works alongside a fragment of an artwork created at the National Art School in the 1990s, the installation folds together the artist’s personal experiences with the complex histories of the NAS site and the broader Darlinghurst area, which served as an epicentre of Australian queer history. Typical of Bradshaw’s minimalist practice in sculpture, the works blur fiction and reality, inviting us into a space that is in itself deeply queer.
