JACKY REDGATE at Museum of Australian Photography (MAPh)

This stellar work by Jacky Redgate is on display currently at the Museum of Australian Photography (MAPh), in their exhibition 'Built photography'. Curated by artists Kiron Robinson and Izabela Pluta, with support from MAPh Director Anouska Phizacklea, Built photography brings together 16 artists who explore photography as a physical construction.

Celina Lei wrote about Redgate's work for ArtsHub recently:

"Redgate’s explorations in both sculpture and photography are exemplified in this piece, which interrogates perception through the lens in a carefully constructed assemblage of a glass, a bottle and a bowl while paying homage to photographic predecessors."

JACKY REDGATE solo exhibition opens at Wollongong Art Gallery

JACKY REDGATE’S new, major solo exhibition Hypnagogia with Mirrors: Old and New Work, 1977-2023, has recently opened at the Wollongong Art Gallery.

Hypnagogia with Mirrors is an artist project that encompasses some of Jacky Redgate's best-known works along with others previously unseen, and new and archival materials. In her work, mirrors are at once means and metaphors, reflecting other times, other dimensions. This show is also site-specific, playing on the Wollongong Art Gallery’s architecture, history, and collection.

One of Australia’s leading contemporary artists, Redgate has a practice extending across six decades. Emerging within the contexts of late modernism, minimalism and conceptualism, and feminism, she is known for her photographic and sculptural works exploring systems and logics, impersonal and personal.

The exhibition is open 16 September-26 November 2023.

JACKY REDGATE interviewed by ART COLLECTOR

JACKY REDGATE was interviewed by Louise Martin-Chew for a mammoth profile in the recent issue of Art Collector Magazine.

In Redgate's practice, the drawing together of historical sources, narratives referring to modernist heritage, migration, convalescence, feminism, studio constructions and an aesthetic that is slick and highly resolved is united, at times, with the emotional slippage of her more personal essays. It is, inevitably, compelling viewing, as evidenced by her presence in institutional collection worldwide.

Five of ARC ONE artists are featured in the newly published 'Doing Feminism: Women’s Art and Feminist Criticism in Australia'


Anne Marsh, ‘Doing Feminism: Women’s Art and Feminist Criticism in Australia’, published on 2 November, 2021, by The Miegunyah Press.

Five of ARC ONE artists – ANNE ZAHALKA, EUGENIA RASKOPOULOS, PAT BRASSINGTON, JULIE RRAP and JACKY REDGATE are featured in the newly published ‘Doing Feminism: Women’s Art and Feminist Criticism in Australia’.

Providing a comprehensive analysis of women’s art movements in Australia from the 1960s onward, this remarkable book by art historian Anne Marsh chronicles the struggles, contestations and achievements of women and feminism in Australian visual arts history. The book also acts as an divergent investigation into how the “doing” of feminism has shaped contemporary art and culture at home and abroad.

“…art and feminism are cyclical; they spiral in and out of time, and it’s interesting to see these younger women, very schooled in theoretical frameworks, turning back to an earlier time, and asking: why aren’t we doing that anymore?” ——Anne Marsh in conversation with Susanna Ling.

Jacky Redgate, Untitled (Vase Shape #1–#5), 1989, wood, ceramic, acrylic. Installation view, Jacky Redgate: Life of the System: 1980 – 2005, 2005.

JACKY REDGATE’s work, Untitled – Vast Shape #1-5 (1989) has been written about in Over Journal, Issue 2. In this issue, Yvette Hamilton reflects on the paradoxical expansion of photography in her essay Beyond Ocular Vision.

“Whilst created before the widespread prevalence of the idea of non-human photography, Australian artist Jacky Redgate’s 1989 series, Untitled, Vase Shape draws attention to the complex relationship between representation and human vision within photography. Through mimicking the shape of a photographic infinity screen and placing a vase shaped sculpture within it, both of which are painted a velvety matte black, Redgate’s work speaks of photographic vision and its failure. Her actions make the objects barely visible and almost impossible to photograph, a decision that makes the work very much dependent on the human presence of the viewer in the exhibition space.”
