Curated by Dominic Redfern, min. features Tim Catlin Anna Finlayson, Natasha Frisch, Damiano Bertoli, Kas Hodges, Nicole Kahms, and Simone Le Amon.
min. showcased the talent of emerging artists and incorporated the work of practitioners across the applied, fine and media arts, bringing together artists who share an interest in, and a tendency toward, working with a limited, indeed minimal, palette to culminate in works whose complexity belies their simple form.
The artists represented in min. provided something new by fusing late Modernism’s hard-edge abstraction and postmodernism’s return to figuration in a gesture that bridges the perceived divide between these two tendencies/periods. In addition to the overarching theme of new minimalism, the artists were required to work with ‘white’ as a principle element in their composition.
Tim Catlin is an artist in Naarm/Melbourne.
Anna Finlayson
Natasha Frisch employs modest materials to construct models and installations that closely approximate everyday objects and sites. Inspired by crime mythologies, suburban folklore, and forgotten architecture, Natasha’s meticulous constructions aim to challenge our reading of the built environment, and interrogate the slippage between the real and the unreal.
Dominic Redfern works at the intersection of site, screen and identity and in recent years his work with identity has increasingly focused on narratives of place. He exhibits widely in Australia and around the world in exhibitions ands screenings programs and he works as a senior lecturer at RMIT’s School of Art.
