Gertrude Contemporary
Friday 11 AprilSunday 8 June

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 references the practices of three artists associated with Gertrude’s exhibition and studio programs between 1995 and 2005, each of whom developed a rigorous and distinct conceptual approach to making art that hinged upon bringing together two points in time and space: Mutlu Çerkez, Damiano Bertoli, and Masato Takasaka. This exhibition does not attempt to survey the decade, nor the work of Çerkez, Bertoli, and Takasaka. Instead, it presents a small selection of artists from the 1995-2005 period at Gertrude along timelines that loop, multiply, and collapse.

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 CLUBS project and was chair of Un Projects, a national independent art publishing venture between 2018 - 2022. He is represented by Sarah Scout Presents, Naarm Melbourne.
