Meet the person behind the captivating Male//Chair exhibition when photographer Garrie Maguire returns to Sunday Arts Magazine.

Australian born, Garrie Maguire has been passionate about photography from a young age. He is also owner of the XYZ Gallery in Docklands. Garrie “uses photography to understand the world and his place in it.”(https://garrie.xyz) Garrie’s Male//Chair exhibition is currently on display in the Pride Gallery at the Victorian Pride Centre. To Garrie, a chair seems like a natural prop for somebody to hide behind, cover themselves thus feel more comfortable. It explores the diversity and totality of males. “There was no names…..everybody got to show the audience as much or as little as they wanted to show them”(Garrie on Sunday Arts Magazine, 21st April 2024)

Learn how Garrie defines his role as the photographer in the exhibition; where that role stops and where the exhibition speaks for itself.

Find out Garrie’s interpretation of how the scholar is seen in Australian culture, also how the scholar is looked upon in Chinese culture.
