ARTISTS TAKING OVER

Artists from our C19 Gallery Residencies and postponed exhibition program are taking over our Instagram. These are the days of their lives.

KINLY GREY

WB 6/4/2020

Kinly Grey works with light, smoke, metaphysics, and feeling. Their explorations have previously considered possibilities for how to apprehend infinity, how to glimpse the divine, how to step outside the horizon, how to feel colour, and how to believe your own existence. Currently they’re exploring possibilities for how to make the world turn.

TAY HAGGARTY

WB 13/4/2020

Tay Haggarty’s practice explores how reductive forms can be used as an open field to reflect upon personal and shared experience. These investigations take the form of collaborations, performances, videos, installations and sculpture. Haggarty uses industrial and ready-made materials that, when arranged within a space, heighten precarious elements through tension and balance. Their work is often minimal and site specific.

DAVID SPOONER
WB 27/4/2020

David Spooner is a Brisbane-based multidisciplinary artist who draws inspiration from the natural and unnatural worlds. David graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts with honours from the Queensland University of Technology in 2003 and in 2008 completed a Masters in Visual Arts at Griffith University (Queensland College of Art). A recent show featured 52 drawings in response to running over Brisbane’s Story Bridge 52 times. David’s latest project involves creating one drawing every day over the course of each year and numbering it accordingly. 2020 is the third year in a row they will be doing this. David draws connections between seemingly unrelated ideas and materials to create his new work, revealing in the process the complexity of the inner logic that drives his practice. Using textiles, found objects, knitting, machine and hand stitching, David creates three dimensional installations that play with literal and imaginative narratives. David has exhibited nationally at Boxcopy Contemporary Art Space, Metro Arts, Next Wave Festival, Canberra Contemporary Art Space, The Walls Art Space and Wreckers Art Space. He has collaborated with the artist-run initiative The Wandering Room and with the artist David Creed in a collaborative duo known as David/David. David has been a visiting artist in the Sculpture Department at Australian National University, Canberra, and was the recipient of the Cathryn Mittelheuser Travel Grant, studying in Paris and London.

He was recently a part of a major group exhibition at the QUT Art Museum in Brisbane where he showed his textile installation ‘Quartz Quilt’. More recently he showed 365 Monstera Deliciosa drawings at the artist run initiative ‘The Wandering Room’’ and embarked on a 3rd performance of Plant Based Drag as Monstera Deliciosa.

CALLUM MCGRATH
WB 4/5/2020

Callum McGrath is a Meanjin (Brisbane) based artist who produces research-driven video, installation, images, text, sound, and sculpture that reimagine institutionalised aesthetics and functions of archives and historiography. Interested in the erosion of time and cultural memory, McGrath’s video, photographic, and sculptural practice is placed in a dialogue with installation-based environments to describe how a queer lens can help us negotiate our relationship to the past.

SALLY MOLLOY
WB 18/5/2020

Sally Molloy is an artist based in Brisbane, Queensland. Her practice is informed by her relationship to the stolen Jagera and Turrbal lands she inhabits and critiques the forms of colonisation that manifest in her everyday life. Orbiting around conceptual terrains of whiteness studies, postcolonial theory, and the problematical Australian landscape tradition, her work is often awkwardly humorous and fused with an uneasy reverence. Sally works across disciplines such as painting, video, sculpture, sound, needlework, collage, and poetry; often questioning the implied hierarchy of media with her naïve aesthetic and enthusiasm for play. Sally is a current PhD candidate at the Queensland College of Art.

ERIKA SCOTT
WB 25/5/2020

My visual language unfolds through a variety of media, often reassembling and modifying discarded household objects, furniture and popular culture debris. I work towards building spaces that reflect what I value and find important and this usually requires me to re-establish and satisfy an ongoing set of aesthetic parameters. Within these parameters things teeter between ‘image and object, the organic and artificial, form and anti-form’.

I completed a Bachelor of Fine Arts (Visual Art) with Honours at the Queensland University of Technology in 2010 and i’m a founding director of the Artist Run Initiative ‘Accidentally Annie St Space’. More recently I run projects on my rooftop in Red Hill, which I named ‘The Soylent Spot’.
