1964, 1969, 1977, 1995, 2000, 2005, 2025
Curated by Helen Hughes and Spiros Panigirakis
1995-2005 saw artists, locally and globally, grappling with philosophical concepts of time, duration, and periodisation. The curatorial framework of 1964, 1969, 1977, 1995, 2000, 2005, 2025 triangulates the practices of three artists closely associated with Gertrude’s exhibition and studio programs between 1995 and 2005: Mutlu Çerkez, Damiano Bertoli, and Masato Takasaka. In this period, each artist developed a rigorous conceptual approach to making art that hinged upon bringing together two points in time. Building out from the distinct temporal logics of Çerkez, Bertoli, and Takasaka’s work, a selection of artists from the 1995-2005 period at Gertrude will be represented in this exhibition along multiple timelines.
Helen Hughes is deputy head of the Fine Art department at Monash University, and a senior lecturer in Art History, Theory and Curatorial Practice. Helen was a founding editor of Discipline, and is on the editorial boards of Memo Review, Index Journal, and Findings Journal. She worked as a curator at Gertrude Contemporary between 2014 and 2015, and as curator of research at Monash University Museum of Art between 2016 and 2018.
Spiros Panigirakis is an artist, educator, curator and writer. He is Head of Fine Art within the Faculty of Art, Design and Architecture at Monash University. He often works with groups in both a curatorial and collaborative capacity to address the social conditions of art. He was part of the founding committee of the artist-run initiative CLUBSproject and was chair of Un Projects, a national independent art publishing venture between 2018 - 2022. He is represented by Sarah Scout presents, Melbourne.
