Reviewed: Liz Miller at Harcourt House

Read Adam Waldron-Blain's full review of Liz Miller's Cataclysmic Rescue Mission in Vue Weekly.

As you enter the Harcourt House main gallery, Liz Miller’s Cataclysmic Rescue Mission presents a bold first impression. The space has been a popular target for attempts at this kind of installation, which specifically calls to mind Stephanie Jonsson’s recent show there. Miller is more successful than many in her attempt to transform both the space and her mundane, crafty materials into something beautiful. Miller quite capably makes use of the room, and for once Harcourt House’s underfunded flooring can almost be forgotten. But after this initial success, Cataclysmic Rescue Mission doesn’t seem to know exactly where to go, and the colourful beauty of the installation is ultimately unfulfilled.

Probably the only art review you will read this week that mentions new-rave.
