Exhibition Opening: JJ Jimenez & Steven Xiao

  • Hillvale Gallery 43-45 Edward Street Brunswick, VIC, 3056 Australia (map)

Join us for the opening of two new exhibitions at Hillvale Gallery on Friday 12th June, 2026.

About the exhibition

Our two-room gallery design will showcase two solo bodies of work, with Sydney-based, New Yorker artist JJ Jimenez presenting Disco Pussy Syndrome, her archive of the queer scene of 90/00’s New York; a time of defiance, creativity and transformation; while in the back gallery, Steven Xiao fuses staged and documentary photography in Post BC in a striking body of work born from his life across China, USA and Australia, in which he traces patterns and illusions of behaviour and perspective.
