JUDE TAGGART ROBERTS on RAYGUN Talks

Podcast

Our new podcast RAYGUN Talks is now up and running and we welcome Jude onto our first episode. Jude first showed with RAYGUN in September 2012. Jude is a visual artist with a focus on the changing terrains of inland Australia including the history and interconnections to the water and land systems she has lived on or journeyed into. Her works on paper and mixed media reveal the hidden interrelationships of the watersheds that we cannot visibly experience such as the artesian basins and springs.

Since moving to Brisbane Jude has continued to make direct encounters with the land and people of Western Queensland through various arts projects where Jude sets up alternative studio spaces to work in situ.

Jude acknowledges the Gunggari, Bidjara, and Kooma Peoples as the Traditional Owners of the Land that is the area of her research and where the work was created.

This Podcast was made by RAYGUN – Tarn McLean and Alexandra Lawson. We acknowledge the Giabal and Jarowiar peoples as the Traditional Owners of the land on which this podcast has taken place.

In March and April 2019 at RAYGUN we welcome artists Tim and Zoe from SINDIKIT Projects   Baltimore, US.

Tim and Zoe will be taking up residency in the Red Door Gallery at the University of Southern Queensland, installing works, making works and generally getting amongst the vibe with USQ art students and lectures for the week of March 4th –  8th. We’re super excited to be sharing time with these two beautiful people, artists and arts workers. Introduced to us by Sharon Louden after her trip to us, we have had several Skype sessions, talking art around the dinner (our end) and breakfast (their end) tables, and with other members of our community. It’s now time to meet them face to face and we’re so thankful to the funding bodies and and individuals who have made their visit to us possible.

The works will remain in their custom made to measure boxed archive as a part of the RAYGUN permanent collection. RETROACTIVE will be on display until December 23rd.

Werner Windisch Opening Night

Friday night at RAYGUN was the opening of Werner’s show. A collection of monochrome paintings made on found cardboard packing boxes, the works hang from walls like a series of transparent colour fields. The interplay between the discarded object and finely worked painting reiterates the form of the image carrier and the relationship of the works to the space and the viewer. Over the course of the month we will reveal a conversation between Werner and a visitor to the works about how the paintings came to be, and how through their luminous layering are able to seduce the viewer. We’re super excited to share this dialogue with you.
