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.
