ODDMENTS 2024

5 October - 9 November 2024

Kate Tucker’s solo exhibition Oddments brings together a body of ‘hybrid’ sculptures comprising plinth-like forms stacked with ceramic bases and paintings, as well as wall-based paintings embedded with ceramic forms and integrating sculptural framing. The works are the result of a process of material experiments with clay, paint and textiles, which aggregate and layer into surface and support-like arrangements.

Tucker’s paintings shift and fracture then recombine elements in a manner that subverts expected order. Materials are manipulated so as to maintain a rawness and familiarity whilst taking on foreign characteristics. The result is a an accumulation and compression of stuff, both physical and pictorial, where traits are swapped and shared. Here, the act of painting is integrated into a work’s slab-like substrate, rather than onto its surface. As art historian and writer Helen Hughes frames it, the ‘main event’ of Tucker’s artwork stages a ‘tussle’ with its supposedly supporting cast; her works “deconstruct the hierarchical division between … painting and frame, or sculpture and plinth”.

Tucker writes:
“My works form with the purpose of accommodating each other. Some become support systems or structures that house and enfold other more precarious elements, with the relationship between materials and forms always non-hierarchical and interconnected.

Fabric, glass and ceramics nest inside densely constructed wooden substrates and forts, bandaged with fabric, glue and paint. Paintings are assemblages of various iterations of gesture, paint and process, with some parts left raw and others layered until slab-like. The works defy definition by their materials or form, instead existing to play roles to each other.

Many of the titles in Oddments are drawn from vintage instructional arts and craft books written for children, with titles used as departure points for works (for example, A strip will curl and Shapes to float on coloured water). These books emphasise a resourceful, handmade, accessible and experimental approach to art-making. My work is subject to an automatic drive towards skill and perfection, curbed by a methodology that deliberately elevates amateurism by introducing new challenges. The errors and inconsistencies that arise from physically making my work are often integral to the development of new forms.

Other titles in this exhibition are numbered, as I seek to anchor each work into an ongoing lineage of similar actions, rather than emphasise any singular work. Some are named from quotes directly spoken to me, like “don’t over think the corollaries,’ advice from my aunt who reminded me of the risks of over analysing the purpose of my work.”

KATE TUCKER - A COMMUNITY OF PARTS BOOK LAUNCH EXHIBITION 2024

Perimeter Editions

Exhibition 3-17 Feb 2024, Daine Singer

Describing Kate Tucker’s works as ‘paintings’ seems almost shortsighted. The medium’s implicit relationship with a bordered, finite, two-dimensionality feels at odds with the Melbourne-based artist’s densely layered, fractured, and rearranged works.

Emphatically three-dimensional, humbly monolithic, and highly democratic in their form and materials, Tucker’s paintings – rendered via acrylic mediums, fragments of pre-printed fabrics, canvas, linen, Chux and cardboard, along with earthenware and slickly glazed ceramic support systems – are at once plinths, prints, collages, sculptures, installations, and frames. They are infinitely layered constellations, colliding and harmonising at impossibly close quarters.

Here, the act of painting is integrated into a work’s slab-like substrate, rather than onto its surface. As art historian and writer Helen Hughes frames it, the ‘main event’ of Tucker’s artwork stages a ‘tussle’ with its supposedly supporting cast; her works ‘deconstruct the hierarchical division between … painting and frame, or sculpture and plinth’. Everything is everywhere in these paintings, which Tucker composes, deconstructs, and reimagines with a kind of deft graphic literacy that points towards her former life as a designer, all the while echoing with the raw imperfections of a hands-on studio practice. While modest and domestic in scale, these works are vast in their labour and their making.

A community of parts is Tucker’s first book and points to the evolution of her practice over the last decade. Featuring texts from curators Amelia Wallin and Charlotte Cornish, alongside an expansive conversation between the artist and Helen Hughes, the book comes to life with Matthew Stanton’s striking photographic documentation and Narelle Brewer’s intuitive design language. Assuming the guise of the workbook as much as the monograph, A community of parts doesn’t so much reproduce Tucker’s works, as it nestles in amongst them, elbow to elbow, testing new combinations, arrangements, and sight lines. Everything is dialogic, generative, and unmistakably physical in this purposeful throng of works. Together, they lead us to new vantages on a painting and sculptural practice that becomes more limitless with each passing year.

EXPRESSIVE POTENTIAL: STUDIES IN ABSTRACTION 2022-23

Bendigo Art Gallery Collection

Bendigo Art Gallery, 03 DEC 22 - 01 DEC 24

Abstraction is an approach to making art that favours expressive and symbolic gestures over realistic representation. Not concerned with illustrating exactly what they see, artists working in this expansive genre often seek to capture an essence of something or convey emotion.

From hard-edge to lyrical abstraction, this display from the Bendigo Art Gallery Collection spans almost a century of abstract approaches in Australian art, including works from the 1930s to the present day. Featured artists draw inspiration from everyday scenes and encounters, music and nature, spirituality and family, geometry and illusion, material exploration, and the process of artmaking itself. Together they highlight the ongoing relevance and expressive potential of abstraction in contemporary art.

Featured artists include John Aslandis, Mitty Brown, Ian Fairweather, Denise Green, Robert Hunter, Robert Jacks, Alun Leach-Jones and Richard Larter with recent acquisitions by Kirsty Budge, Helen Maudsley, Kate Tucker and Jenny Watson.

This Collection display can be found in our oldest gallery space Bolton Court built in 1867. In the late 1880s, under the supervision of the distinguished Bendigo architect WC Vahland, this building was converted from the orderly room of the Bendigo Volunteer Rifle Brigade to a permanent home for the Gallery’s collection.

NOTIONS OF CARE 2022-23

Arini Byng, Kate Tucker, Katie West, Polly Stanton, and Snapcat, Curated by Kathryne Honey and Nina Mulhall

12th Nov 2022 - 26th Feb 2023

ARARAT GALLERY TEXTILE ART MUSEUM

Read the catalogue essay by Timmah Ball here

The exhibition ‘Notions of Care’ explores the ways in which art and nurture are interlinked. The way that art can care for both the viewer and artist. Through the works of Polly Stanton, Renae Coles & Anna Dunnill (Snapcat), Kate Tucker, Katie West, and Arini Byng, ways of caring are unfolded, cultivated, and enforced.

This exhibition is an offering to the audience to rest their bodies and their minds, to pause, and to contemplate in a calm intimate environment. ‘Notions of Care’ was incubated during the 2019 Hobiennale festival, and continues to develop as a conversation between a group of eight female-identifying artists and curators. Each artist in the exhibition approaches care in a nuanced and delicate way, referencing the human body and the natural environment.

Throughout the exhibition care is explored through soft bodily forms, bodily interrelations, and enclosed personal spaces. Embracing the coincidences of nature and its welcoming all embracing landscape. Through this use of different material and gestural propositions, the exhibition welcomes a personal and intimate reflection of care. Connected to the body and the land, each work grounds the audience to reflect upon care for themselves, others, and the environment.

ARTIST SEEKING COLLECTOR 2022-23

ResArtis

17 November 2022 – 28 January 2023

A celebration of the collection of David Clouston and Michael Schwarz, including works by Mark Smith, Anne Zahalka, Michael Lindeman, Jeremy Eaton, Monica Lazzari, Pim van Nunen, Adam Lee, Virginia Leonard, Kate Tucker, Sam Martin, André Piguet, Hiromi Tango and Tristan Chant.

As the 29th year of Res Artis comes to a close we reflect on our ongoing commitment to the sustainability of the arts residency sector and the main reason for our operations: artists! A desire to create transformative experiences for artists is at the core of what Res Artis does. This same intention is reflected in the generosity of our benefactors David Clouston and Michael Schwarz—collectors who work to support artists throughout all stages of their careers. In Artist Seeking Collector, a name derived from a work of the same title by Michael Lindeman that features in the exhibition, Res Artis presents a selection of works from Michael and David’s extensive collection.

ARCHIVE OF COLOURS / HIERARCHY OF NEEDS 2022

9 Oct - 10 Nov 2022

Cathedral Cabinet

Curated by Caspar Connolly

In my work materials and forms are layered and embedded. Materials morph, their characteristics swapped and equalised into collective ambiguity. The works sit on a spectrum between objects and painting, with the various parts engaged in a process of mutual support. I don't set out knowing what a work will look like, but move through a series of systems devised in order to be disrupted. Working across many materials and numerous works at a time, I try to prolong the open, playful middle of a process. After things are moving but before they start to resolve, there is both a threat of chaos and the potential to locate its opposite. Pulling different, at times conflicting, materials together and turning them into something solid, sound and lasting, can be seen as a metaphor for life. Always an artist, only sometimes working, I bring all of me to everything I make.

My hybrid sculpture/paintings include slab-like textile-based paintings resting on ceramic or bronze bases. The solid bases have gradually grown larger and heavier, the paintings lighter and more organic. Recently, they have rested on Elevations, steel plinths with handmade tile tops, acting as a further iteration of this structural support. Hierarchy of needs 1, 2 and 3, iteratively expand on various elements that reoccur in my work. Disentangled and rearranged, the layers are extracted from each other. A collective rather than a mass, parts given space.

In Hierarchy of needs 1, the ceramic sculpture duplicates itself into a tower-like form, resting atop a plinth with a painted hemp surface. This is contained by a solid bronze plait, which references the soft plaited fabric frames that often wrap around my paintings, now made hard and heavy. These parts are suspended by narrow steel legs, the wireframe cube which denotes the outline of the studio – the container. The works combine to form a vertical stack that has a sense of precarity. Each part leans toward the others, teetering on the edge of not being itself anymore. In Hierarchy of needs 2, the sculpture has grown a subterranean layer, and slipped through the surface of the painting.

The ceramics are formed through a collage-like process, which traverses assemblage when wet, painting greenware, glazing and further layers of paint. The paintings on hemp are sketches based on forms in the ceramics, a quick and light counterpoint to the heavily crafted bronze plaited frames. Hierarchy of needs 3 is a small painting that stands alone, liberated from any supportive function, a full circle perhaps.

Being in the business of making objects brings with it a kind of weight, never more apparent than when moving studios. I have gradually come to perceive the creative detritus as a work in itself, a record of many hours spent chasing new intangible states through physical wrangling. When everything constantly slips into something else, it becomes necessary to zoom out, archive.

In Archive of colours, I sewed together samples of a majority of the left over fabrics from nearly a decade of staining and printing cotton, linen, hemp, and used household textiles. Coinciding with a studio move, I felt compelled to summarise this part of my practice, perhaps to signify the quiet labour not just of making the various elements, but also of storing and maintaining the components of a broad mixed media practice.

Each work I make contains a kind of non-chronological mash up of everything that came before. The materials draw a tactile timeline back to that vital, questioning place in the middle of making. But as with all ‘stuff’, there is a fine line between too much and not enough. These works represent a snapshot of the main characters that populate my work now, one teetering moment in the torrent of ever evolving practice.

O HORIZON 2022

Matt Arbuckle, Wona Bae and Charlie Lawler, Sean Bailey, Bronwyn Dillon, Eloise Kirk, Grant Nimmo, Kate Tucker, Alice Wormald, curated by Daine Singer

Salamanca Arts Centre

Exhibition: 11 - 25 June, 2022

The exhibition draws inspiration from the O horizon, the top layer in a vertical profile of soil. This is the top strata of earth, the biodiverse site of microorganisms and fungi, decomposing organic matter from plants and animals, leaf litter, mosses and lichens.

The O horizon has metaphoric connotations of regeneration, and the naming of this underfoot layer as a 'horizon' is richly evocative. Rather than being in the distance, a horizon can be immediately beneath your feet.

The exhibition refocuses our attention to the earth and nutrient-rich topsoils that are vital to life and our environment.

A ROOF, NOT A ROOM 2021

Solo exhibition at Daine Singer

26 May - 10 July 2021

Read the catalogue essay by Charlotte Cornish here

Kate Tucker’s works are created through a collage-like accumulative process of layering, where paintings are cut and combined, with some pieces left raw and others subjected to continuous iterative changes. Alongside large new paintings are a series of hybrid painting/ sculpture works that have complex ceramic bases holding and supporting paintings. There is an interchangeability between material characteristics of painting and sculpture, textiles and printing, and a play between what is holding and what is being held, with an emphasis on literal and metaphoric supports.

The works for this exhibition are process heavy, combining layered strips of painted and printed fabrics with painting. As part of the process Tucker created small still life watercolour paintings in her home and of her own sculptures and books sitting on bookshelves. She then photographed the watercolours and had them digitally printed on linen, which was cut up and wrapped across the painting surface, and painted over. The works are bound by their process and by an interest in domestic creativity, drawing from the lockdown period when Tucker was working within the constraints of home and looking to her immediate surroundings.

NOTIONS OF CARE 2021

Arini Byng, Kate Tucker, Katie West, Polly Stanton, and Snapcat, Curated by Kathryne Honey and Nina Mulhall

20 April - 22 May 2021

Bus Projects

Read the catalogue essay by Timmah Ball here

The exhibition ‘Notions of Care’ explores the ways in which art and nurture are interlinked. The way that art can care for both the viewer and artist. Through the works of Polly Stanton, Renae Coles & Anna Dunnill (Snapcat), Kate Tucker, Katie West, and Arini Byng, ways of caring are unfolded, cultivated, and enforced.

This exhibition is an offering to the audience to rest their bodies and their minds, to pause, and to contemplate in a calm intimate environment. ‘Notions of Care’ was incubated during the 2019 Hobiennale festival, and continues to develop as a conversation between a group of eight female-identifying artists and curators. Each artist in the exhibition approaches care in a nuanced and delicate way, referencing the human body and the natural environment.

Throughout the exhibition care is explored through soft bodily forms, bodily interrelations, and enclosed personal spaces. Embracing the coincidences of nature and its welcoming all embracing landscape. Through this use of different material and gestural propositions, the exhibition welcomes a personal and intimate reflection of care. Connected to the body and the land, each work grounds the audience to reflect upon care for themselves, others, and the environment.

Step off is a hybrid painting/ sculpture created through a collage-like process. Images from DIY craft books were loosely referenced then abstracted, cut and combined. Paint was applied to unprimed hessian and fine weave linen. Multiple applications of acrylic mediums subdue the textures of materials, resulting in a smooth, plasticised surface. Fused, organic painted layers coexist with flat colour in a materially ambiguous slab.

In Tucker's works reference images are dissected and re-contextualised, familiar materials are subjected to processes that gradually rob them of their characteristics. These processes allude to the fluidity of digital images, able to contain unlimited layers whilst remaining perpetually flat. While the materials are analogue, the iterative methodology through which they are formed has as much in common with Photoshop as painting. Ceramic bases hold and support the paintings, with the content of the paintings informed by the structure of its base.

MANIFOLD 2018

Daine Singer
14 November — 20 December 2018

In Manifold, Kate Tucker explores the interaction and reversal of forms and media. Tucker has created a series of ceramic sculptures, paintings, objects that integrate painting with sculpture, and ceramic tile paintings.

Her paintings combine digitally printed fabrics as well as textural and painted elements. They shift and fracture, recombining elements in a manner that subverts the expected order. Materials are manipulated so as to maintain a rawness and familiarity whilst taking on foreign characteristics. Ceramic tiles are employed on tiled tables that support ceramic sculptures, elsewhere tiles exist as paintings. Cast metal is used to frame and support works, and also mimics the forms of ceramics. Across the installation, shapes and forms within the paintings and sculptures reference each other. The works are a spectrum of possibilities within material constraints, unified through shared forms, palette and texture.

To acknowledge that two-dimensional pictures rendered on surfaces of canvas and board are something more than planar images. After all, materials required to produce a painting are three-dimensional liquids, cloths, timbers and powders. So it's fair to make a case that paintings are sculptural objects to some extent. They are not sculptures, but they are in some sense sculptural.

Support Structure assembles the work of artists who paint in a sculptural way. Acknowledging the physicality of paintings these artists produce artwork that blurs the boundary between media and offers ways of rethinking the nature of contemporary painting.

CUTTINGS 2017

Bus Projects
Dates: 2 August - 26 August 2017

Click here to read the essay by Laura Couttie

When propagating from cuttings, a section of the plant is detached from the system which supports it. Stuck into new soil, we ask it to build itself a new system of support,to grow backwards.

These paintings accumulated from scraps, off cuts and failed paintings. They formed through attempts to let new things grow from studio fallout which had become invisible to me. I used materials as negative space, focusing on detaching them from their previous context rather than constructing an image.

In my recent paintings, materials borrow characteristics from one another and are gradually built up into slabs. The result is a compression of materials, where traits are swapped and shared, and the painting is located through rather than on the surface.

In Cuttings, initial layers are left close to the surface and solid bases carry the paintings. The plaited frames serve as reminders of edges, undersides and hidden views. These pictures don't float, but lean heavily into their supports as though the various acts embedded within the painting now manifest in physical weight. Materials, actions and objects are used as though interchangeable, in an attempt to coax new versions of each to grow backwards from the others.

TABLETS 2016

Daine Singer

5 October - 5 November 2016

Download essay by Amelia Winata

Kate Tucker's recent painting process has shifted towards building slab-like substrates through repetitive layering of various materials. This process emerged as a reaction to the restrictions of painting traditionally onto pre-stretched linens. Rather than working within a defined area and surface, each layer became an opportunity to change the form as well as the content of the work. The result is a series of ‘tablets’, irregularly shaped paintings that represent an accumulation of numerous material based experiments, rather than the realisation of a pre-conceived idea.

The freedom afforded by this has impacted on the way Tucker uses paint to form compositions and make marks. As paint is used to stain calico, which is then wrapped and plaited around the substrate, any painting that is done with a brush must co-habit with a different iteration of itself. Similarly, fabrics that are digitally printed with images of other works are used, sometimes images of earlier versions of the actual painting they become part of.

Tucker is interested in corrupting or shifting elements from their original source, then recombining them in a manner that subverts expected order. Simultaneously, materials are manipulated so as to maintain a rawness and familiarity whilst taking on foreign characteristics. The result is a compression of materials, where traits are swapped and shared, and the painting is located through rather than onto the surface.

The ambition to marry or equalize opposing elements points back to the conundrum of making paintings in the digital age. Tucker has been attempting to transfer some of the opportunities of digital mediums across to painting and has chosen to do this through process rather than visual cues. In these works elements may be stripped of context and casually combined, but unlike in Photoshop, the physicality of the materials means the painting grows with every layer. The ambiguity of the finished surface is difficult to translate through photography, which adds a final iteration to the loop of analogue and digital.

GEELONG CONTEMPORARY ART PRIZE 2016

10 September to 13 November

Geelong Gallery

In recent works I have sought to create sculptural objects that appear resolved before I apply any paint. In Making space, synthetic polymer paint then encaustic was applied as a foundation. The material qualities of these layers, as well as their hue and the interaction between them, went on to inform the content of the painting. Seeking to reduce and simplify my compositions, I’ve been leaving a visible trail through multiple layers. Employing various different media has forced me to evaluate the importance of every mark, as each one threatens to conceal something below. Every layer speaks of a specific part of my creative process. The frame was approached as though it were another layer, introducing a further iteration of marginally shifted content. My aim is to draw the viewer beyond the surface, inviting them to ponder subtle subversions of order and shifts in material. As a counterpoint to the inherent labour in the many layers, the painted gestures are simple and thin. I view them as punctuation marks on a process where preliminary acts are valued as highly as the finished product.

VERSION EDITIONS 2016

VERSION commissions artworks for exclusive limited edition release.

Kate Tucker’s works for VERSION have developed through a complex series of digital and analogue processes. Stained, cut and sewn paintings are made on canvas, which are then photographed and recombined in Photoshop, before being printed, collaged, painted on and finally printed on Platine Fibre Rag, a 100% cotton rag archival paper with a satin finish.

Kate described her process for creating Hard Mix and Divide as "cutting and composing through a process where digital and analogue are compressed into a kind of loop. And shifting things across media so they still show characteristics of all the processes but don’t belong to any of them."

The prints are available in limited editions of 20 + 2 AP's and can be acquired from www.versioneditions.com.

PAINTING REVEALED 2016

Ruby Brown, Eleanor Louise Butt, Ann Debono, Kate Tucker

Sutton Projects, 20 August- 10 September, 2016. Open Fri and Sat, 1-5pm.

Painting Revealed is an invitational exhibition featuring four emerging local painters. These artists span vastly different approaches to paint, from the lightness of raw gestural mark making, to sculpted surfaces of thick paint and wax, to the precision of representational oil painting. Across the distinctive painting processes, a fascination with what lies beneath prevails throughout – a desire to expose what preceded, to leave traces of evidence, or a key to decipher what is presented on the painted surface. Within their works each artist uniquely and deliberately accentuates what is masked or covered.

Curated by Tai Snaith

Concrete Agenda brings together nine Melbourne based artists working within the field of abstraction to question and present ideas of materiality, process and perspective. Exploring compositional play, openness and the language of form, the Artists examine ideas around authenticity, subjectivity and the psychology of taste. All share an agenda of interrogating the image at various stages of it’s development and resolution within the frame.

Strange Neighbour presentS ‘Elastic Field’ curated by Laura Skerlj.

This exhibition presents an approach to contemporary painting where form, narrative, gesture, material and subject matter are combined using aggregational methodologies. Painting’s frame becomes a responsive and open structure—a stretchy space—where pictorial elements come together in energetic formation. Here, parameters established by a single line or grid are determined and disrupted. On other occasions, the frontier between abstraction and representation collapses. Collage meshes references to conflate high and low cues. Materials are stitched, mixed, built-up and bothered. Intuition becomes logic, labour rises up and agency evolves. In these various ways, the frame is agitated to invigorate painting from the inside out, conjuring a space that can reflect on both the dizziness of contemporary culture and the intimate experiences of making and looking.

CUTAWAY 2016

Cutaway

Chapter House Lane

14 January - 31 January 2016, Opening 14 January, 6–8

Cutaway comprises works of a variety of mediums and techniques as a site-specific installation for Chapter House Lane’s walk-by space. Artist Kate Tucker reimagines the window as a stage for the re-enactment of her painting process.

Presented as a series of paintings and sculptures, Tucker engages with an open ended process whereby ideas inform material experiments. Tucker’s usual layering upon canvas transitions into the physical space of the gallery. For the works exhibited at Chapter House Lane, Tucker has sought to refine and expand her painting practice. In doing this, Tucker plays the amateur and dabbles and experiments with tensions present within her work.

Despite a desire to understand distinct materials, the conversation and meaning that arises between aluminium, bronze, cloth, gaffer tape and paint relies on homogeneity. What is separate will at the same time be entangled; layering and shifting abstract forms are central to the work. With an almost infinite number of variables on show, Tucker manages to use her works to coax out an articulate language that retains both her intentionality and a sense of resolution.

PERCY GRAINGER: IN THE COMPANY OF STRANGERS 2015

Percy Grainger: in the company of strangers

With John BROOKS, Dylan MARTORELL Alasdair McLUCKIE, Rebecca MONAGHAN, Darren SYLVESTER

The Gallery @ Bayside Arts & Cultural Centre, Carpenter Street, Brighton VIC, 20 June – 9 August 2015

The aspect of Grainger’s practice that fascinates me most is the ‘many-sided’ nature of his creativity. Believing his own worldview and aesthetic to be superior to all others, he reinvented everything. Rather than placing value on individual objects or works, he saw value in the connections between things and sought to bring these out. I perceive in his work a constant push and pull between pursuing free creativity and trying to gather and make sense of it all, to archive, summarise and to teach.

This series of paintings reference a number of aspects of Grainger’s oeuvre, both aesthetically and conceptually. In the Samples series, each painting has many layers, beginning with canvas or linen that has been cut, stained and reconstructed. The resulting quilt-like surface is immersed in a polymer emulsion that renders it flat and smooth, as though preserved. The paintings each stem from a different departure point and are deliberately aesthetically diverse. They are linked by the process of their making and their presentation, a sort of compendium of creative meanderings. As a group they bring to mind Grainger’s Museum panel’s, where clippings or photographs were collected and presented as one. But they also allude to rhythm and the annotation of music.

Putting it together/pulling it apart (layers of a song) deals more directly with the visual recording of music. In this work I sought to create a song-like construction using my own visual language. When working I have often pondered how a painting could possibly be as complex or complete as a successful song. This work strives to realise the way I ‘see’ music when I listen to it. In addition, it is a patchwork, stemming from the same process as the Samples series. But it is left raw and textural, suggesting a sort of mash up of Grainger’s clothing and graphic designs. It takes the form of a wall hanging, partly because I wanted to include an obvious nod to the traditional, decorative crafts that fascinated Grainger. But it also seemed like a fitting realisation of a process where the act of making is more important than the resulting object. Rather than presenting a group of perfectly finished paintings, these works are documents of a creative process without constraints.

FAUX MUSEUM 2014

FAUX MUSEUM
c3 Inaugural Fundraising Event
Thursday 27th November – 14th December 2014

Curated by:
Anusha Kenny, Melissa Loughan, Kate Tucker and Ace Wagstaff

c3 has bought together a curatorial team consisting of Anusha Kenny, Melissa Loughan, Kate Tucker and Ace Wagstaff, who have developed a major exhibition to occupy the entire gallery. While raising funds is the goal of the show, the curatorial team is keen to look at fundraising as a creative concept. They are particularly interested in exploring ways in which large-scale institutions create funding opportunities through their environments and functions. To this end, the curators will create a Faux Museum within the gallery (an institution within an institution) that will replicate specific zones, allowing for a multitude of approaches.

Participating artists:
Paul Adair, Rachel Ang, Steven Asquith, Lauren Berkowitz, Fergus Binns, Kirsty Budge, Yvette Coppersmith, Sarah crowEST, Molly Dyson, Naomi Eller, Carly Fischer, Emily Floyd, Aurelia Guo, Starlie Geikie, Nina Gilbert, Minna Gilligan, Nathan Gray, Matlock Griffiths, Kate Hill, Kez Hughes, Andy Hutson, Katie Jacobs, Helen Johnson, Klara Kelvy, Annabelle and Alana Kingston (Paradise Structures), Nina Knezevic, Georgina Lee, Alanna Lorenzon, Travis MacDonald, Kym Maxwell, Rob McHaffie, William Mackinnon, Jordan Marani, Dylan Martorell, Pia Murphy, Bill Noonan, Rohani Osman, Paul Philipson, Clare Rae, Mark Rodda, Amelie Scalercio, Caleb Shea, Julian Aubrey Smith, Tai Snaith, Charlie Sofo, Dell Stewart, Adrian Stojkovic, Jelena Telecki, Peter Thomas, Kate Tucker, Meredith Turnbull, Brittany Veitch and Kent Wilson.

EMBLEM 2014

23 July - 16 August

c3 Contemporary Artspace, Abbotsford Convent, Melbourne

Tucker’s works are often based on the disruption of systems, alongside creation of chaotic states so pervasive they resemble systems. They often contain allusions to depth or three-dimensionality, in combination with a consciousness of surface. With Emblem, she creates sculptural supports where compositional elements are locked into place before painting begins. In doing this, she aims to anchor her painting process to a negotiation between the connection and separation of object and surface. The collection of forms that make up the support are disjointed enough to disrupt the continuity of surface, but remain linked nonetheless by marks that pursue connection and resolution.

SELF SIMILAR 2014

Rubicon ARI, 9-26 April 2014

In this body of work, Tucker highlights the role played by the outline or edge of the support in directing the outcome of a painting. To do this, she created irregular, at times unbalanced forms, which were then painted with a renewed consciousness of the image as the surface of an object. The term ‘self similar’ applies to anything where a small part of something loosely resembles the whole. When painting on a conventionally shaped surface, certain parameters have already been set. By using an irregular shaped board, the departure point is changed and the outcome is inevitably different. In these works, Tucker maps out an abstract space, using the outline of the form as the basis for an abstract language. They document a process of structuring space, then intervening with multiple random actions.

Artists Lauren Berkowitz, Helga Groves, Mia Salsjo, Britt Salt, Kate Tucker, Soo-Joo Yoo. Curated by Rachael Watts & Melanie Flynn.

Working primarily with ethereal or everyday materials, the six female artists in this exhibition question the idea of permanence. Employing notions of gathering, rhythm, and repetition the exhibition aims to transform the galleries, hallways, stairwells and windows and question the way we view the world around us.
