ARC ONE GALLERY AT THE MELBOURNE ART FAIR
ARC ONE GALLERY AT THE MELBOURNE ART FAIR, 1-5 AUGUST
ARC ONE’s curated space at the Melbourne Art Fair brings together works that are both complex and engaging, displaying an ongoing commitment to an expanding field of abstracted visual possibilities.
Narrow salt strips of iridescent blues; geometric grids of painted refracted light; organic contours of artificial colours: these exuberant bursts are the psychedelic exploration of futuristic wonderlands within the framework of consumer culture, technological advances and spiritual ideology. Orbiting the imagination of seven cross-generational artists, these playful and subversive works animate the collaboration of nature and technology through minimalistic hues, abstract forms and judicious shapes. Favouring repetition and geometric pattern, these works create an immersive topography that is evocative of a science-fiction novel exploring exotic lands that are both of and out of this world.
JACKY REDGATE
JACKY REDGATE will be exhibiting at the Centre for Contemporary Photography in CCP Declares: On the Nature of Things from 3 August - 16 September. Curated by Kyla McFarlane, the exhibition brings together work that is loosely connected by their relationship to things, as both subject matter and in the artist's attention to the photographic object.
ANNE SCOTT WILSON
ANNE SCOTT WILSON is collaborating with Alexandra Harrison at Dancehouse from July 31 - August 1 at 6.30pm.
Forest of Gesture is a short video work and live performance capturing people in their rapid trajectories in busy urban spaces. Forest of Gesture attempts to pause and reflect on the excesses of action and create space in movement for alternative and unexpected future possibilities.
