MURRAY FREDERICKS
Murray Fredericks, Icesheet #0712, digital pigment print, edition of 7, 120x150cm.
ARC ONE are pleased to announce Murray Fredericks’ latest series of photography is now on display in the exhibition Topophilia, 6 Nov - 7 Dec 2013, ARC ONE, Melbourne.
In the three years from 2010 to 2013, internationally renowned photographer Murray Fredericks made six journeys to the centre of Greenland’s Ice Sheet to create his latest project, Topophilia. Ten epic photographs from this series will be exhibited at ARC ONE Gallery from 6 Nov to 7 Dec 2013.
In Topophilia, Fredericks continues exploring the subjects of ‘space’ and the ‘void’. Conveying ‘an emotional experience of space’, Fredericks describes an ‘inner’, rather than ‘outer’ landscape. Fredericks locates his projects in featureless, perfectly flat landscapes austerely defined by an unbroken and continuous horizon. Working in such minimal environments, temporal atmospheric phenomena and the subtleties of light become powerful elements that define the visual plane. Verging on transcendental, this view transports us beyond our culturally imbued recognitions of the geographical qualities of place.
In these locations, moments with the potential to transcend the ‘literal’ present rarely. As a result, Fredericks’ projects extend over many years, with months spent in inhospitable places like Greenland’s Ice Sheet and Kati Thanda-Lake Eyre, where the iconic series Salt was conceived. From the thousands of photographs produced, only a handful of images successfully convey this experience of space - where the landscape becomes merely the medium, rather than the subject. Whilst surviving in these locations (often solo) is a dangerous proposition, Fredericks says that the adventure is simply a by-product of the pursuit of a vision and an adherence to concept.
- Annabel Holt, November 2013
Fredericks’ resulting large-scale photographs have been exhibited widely in Australia and internationally. Fredericks’ work is in the collections of the National Gallery of Victoria, Melbourne; National Portrait Gallery, Canberra; Artbank, Sydney; Macquarie Bank Collection, Sydney; Sir Elton John Collection, London; Valentino Collection; ABN Amro Collection, Museum of Sydney Collection, Sydney and numerous prestigious private collections. Fredericks has produced two documentaries; the multi-award winning and widely acclaimed Salt (Kati Thanda-Lake Eyre) and more recently Nothing on Earth, filmed in Greenland whilst producing Topophilia.

JOHN YOUNG
John Young, Repose (Autumn 2012), oil on linen, 190x144cm.
ARC ONE Gallery is delighted to announce our representation of respected and dynamic artist, John Young. Working from a bi-cultural viewpoint, with a focus on trans-cultural humanitarianism, Young has created many series of significant paintings over the last three decades of his practice.
Young has recently been awarded the prestigious Australia Council Visual Arts Fellowship for established artists to research the history of the Chinese Diaspora in Australia. The research will inform exhibitions to be created nationally and internationally in the years to come.
Concurrently, Young is working on a large scale monument for the City of Ballarat. This public monument will be the first work in the region to acknowledge the historic contribution of the Chinese people to the area, especially during the nineteenth and early twentieth century.
ARC ONE will be showcasing John Young’s work in our Viewing Room from mid November to mid December, commencing with a celebratory reception.

TRACY SARROFF
Tracy Sarroff, The Crimson Arch, oil paint on perspex, 2013, 56 x 83 cm, installed with Stalagmite, wood expanding foam, paint, epoxy resin, 56x23x26cm, 2012.
We are delighted to announce TRACY SARROFF's exhibition at ARC ONE Gallery, Congruo, from the 1st October - 2 November 2013.
Congruo, Tracy Sarroff’s first solo exhibition at ARC ONE, creates an immersive wonderland of psychedelic forms. Fuelled by Sarroff’s interest in geological formations and the crossover between scientific fact and fiction, a fantastical vision of our natural environment emerges. Sarroff’s vividly synthetic and reality-shifted Perspex paintings distort nature’s elements alongside her suite of sculptures.
Many elements in Congruo are inspired by Sarroff’s time spent as Artist in Residence in Hill End, NSW, rich with the eroded diggings of a bygone era. The over-mined and eroded creek bed The Golden Gully, is depicted in a series of hyper-real paintings on lurid Perspex. They also hark to landscape images from science fiction film classics.
Sculptures glow ghostly in the dark with delicious surfaces and take the shape of manufactured growth-forms derived from ideas based in transgenics. Other works project electric light and radiate a stark ambience of kitsch colour and space-age design. Comprised of paintings, wall assemblages and sculptural installations that correspond, unite and coincide with one another, the various forms of 'Congruo' morph dislocated natural realities with the aesthetic of science fiction.
