JACKY REDGATE's feature article, 'The Earth Moved', is written by Robert Leonard (Director of the Institute of Modern Art (IMA) Brisbane) and is a multi-page piece exploring her recent solo exhibition at ARC ONEGallery, 'Flowers and Frolics', 2025.
'There are games going on within Flowers and Frolics. But the series also has to be understood as part of a bigger game involving Redgate’s whole oeuvre. Redgate has been exhibiting for decades, building a complex, cross-referenced body of work, operating at intersections of conceptualism, minimalism and feminism, traversing many media. Where she goes next is often a surprise, her moves perverse. She regularly throws spanners into the works, making new things that derange our sense of older ones, deterritorialising, reterritorialising. Increasingly, this has become the subject of her work.' - Robert Leonard, VAULT issue 53.
