GOLD: A Group Exhibition
Toni Davey, Jane Harris, Carali McCall, Anna Mossman, Katherine Perrins, Alice Temperley and Denise Webber
Open By APPOINTMENT: 2-22 Dec 2023 & 4-20 Jan 2024
Opening event: 1-3pm, Saturday 2 December 2023
Join us in an investigation of gold’s historical and iconographic use in the history of art. These works all reference the individual artist's own practices and demonstrate the continued importance of gold as an inherently potent idea, material, colour and pigment in contemporary art. It can adopt meanings of value, status, position within a hierarchical structure, or the divine. In magical contexts it can be perceived as a material with inherent powerful qualities. Its symbolic nature has been a means of communication; between humans and a spiritual world. We see this in objects, in beliefs and perceptions of gold, and its significance in religious and magical traditions and ceremonies.
We welcome this wealth of female artists to CLOSE and celebrate in unison for all we are grateful for. Through these works we send out a longing for peace and harmony. As we look forward to a new year with optimism and a gentle asking for love and unity in the world. That is Golden.
Visits throughout the exhibition are welcome by appointment.
