The Brothers Gruchy presents nine key artworks by acclaimed digital artists Tim and Mic Gruchy, which focus on the intersections of technological innovations with biological forms, human perception, artificial intelligence, and synaesthesia. 

Brothers Tim and Mic grew up in Bundaberg and, along with being celebrated individual artists, have worked extensively together since the mid-1980s. The Brothers Gruchy features work from their collaborative explorations in the use of video, multimedia, and performative art practices. 

In a technological environment characterised by hyper-communication and social networks, the Brothers explore sensuous visions of an enhanced and rapidly changing world, while also considering its dissolution. Their subject matter ranges from familial connection to great Australian rivers; from the environmental impacts of development and industry to the degradation of the decommissioned Baoshan steelworks, Shanghai, once one of the largest steelworks in the world. 

Artist Tim Gruchy said it had been a privilege to have the exhibition in Bundaberg and to give back to the community and they are delighted that Bundaberg Regional Gallery is partnering with Museums & Galleries Queensland to share their exhibition with audiences nationally. 

“Mic and I have been very fortunate, we grew up in Bundaberg but were very inspired by the world of art and the art teachers that were at Bundaberg High School when we were students there,” he said. 

“In the work Anamnesis, I’ve taken some very old slide projectors, and I’ve used material from my family archive, our family archive, the family photos.” 

The Brothers Gruchy is a touring exhibition curated by Bundaberg Regional Galleries and presented in partnership with Museums & Galleries Queensland. This project has been assisted by the Australian Government’s Visions of Australia program and is supported by the Queensland Government through Arts Queensland.
