JACKY REDGATE SURVEY 1980–2003
EXHIBITION DATES 11 JUNE – 18 JULY
AND NOW FOR SOMETHING COMPLETELY DIFFERENT!
As Project #5 in the series CONTEMPORARY VISUAL ART PROJECTS SA 2004, the CACSA will present the second of three exhibitions, surveying the work of Australian artist and FCA Lecturer Jacky Redgate. Following the launch of the Survey in April with the first exhibition of early photo series, the second Survey exhibition will present a number of major three-dimensional bodies of work, including several Untitled series; Equal Solids – volume 25, 196,000 cubic mm each; Fountain and French Windower; Hungry Birds etc., which are key pieces in Redgate’s investigation into received perceptions and media.
Redgate’s productions are subtle inquests into what can be perceived, known and communicated. Her work hums away with a few simple but vital queries. What systems of perception and what materials of rendition do we have at our disposal and what are their capacities and incapacities? How do these systems and materials promote and impede our comprehensions of our worlds? And how can we venture into unaccustomed combinations of these systems and materials in order to strengthen our capacities for perceiving, comprehending and communicating whilst all the time being aware that each new combination also sets new limits on thought and feeling?

Jacky Redgate has an extensive 25 year exhibition history – including the Biennale of Sydney [1986, 1988 and 1990], Australian Perspecta [1985 and 1987], the 2000 Olympic Arts Festival, the 2000 Adelaide Festival of Arts, and major exhibitions at the Art Gallery of New South Wales, Australian Centre for Photography, Museum of Contemporary Art, National Gallery of Australia, Art Gallery of Ontario, Osaka National Museum of Art, Frankfurter Künstverein, and numerous solo exhibitions in Adelaide, Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide, Brisbane, Berlin and New Zealand. Her work is held in major public, corporate and private collections in Australia and overseas. This survey, complimented by a monograph later in the year, and an Artist Residency in Adelaide in conjunction with the SA School of Art, University of SA, is the CACSA’s first major career-presentation of an Australian artist, and will be Redgate’s first major exhibition in Adelaide.
The survey will be touring to the Museum of Contemporary Art, Sydney later next year.
Jacky Redgate is represented by Sherman Galleries, Sydney and ARC One Gallery, Melbourne
