From 1995-2000 he was Programme Organiser at the Photographers' Gallery, London. During this time he curated a number of group exhibitions including 'Blue Suburban Skies', 'May Day' (1999) and 'Speed: Visions of an Accelerated Age' (1998), a collaboration with the Whitechapel Gallery, that combined work from a range of disciplines in order to explore the impact of speed on twentieth century life and culture.
As an artist, Millar has participated in shows including 'A Shot in the Head', Lisson Gallery, London, 2000 (where he showed a collaborative work made with Graham Gussin) and 'Nothing', NGCA, Sunderland, 2001.
As a critic and writer on contemporary art his work has appeared in numerous publications including Tate magazine, Afterall and Artforum. More recently, he co-curated (with Barbera London) 'Escape' as part of 'Media_City Seoul 2000' and is currently Director of the first biennial of British Photography in Brighton.
