Devonport Regional Gallery: True Self: David Rosetzky Selected Works

True Self: David Rosetzky Selected Works—the first major survey of leading Australian artist David Rosetzky.

AT DEVONPORT REGIONAL GALLERY FROM 6 JUNE – 12 JULY 2015

Opening Friday 5 June, 6 pm

Student Floor talk with David Rosetzky Friday 5 June, 5 pm

One of Australia’s finest artists, David Rosetzky creates intensely beautiful lens-based works exploring identity, subjectivity and relationships. Increasingly, he collaborates with professionals from the fields of theatre, dance, film and sound. Drawing on fifteen years of practice True Self: David Rosetzky Selected Works presents early portrait and longer duration videos, photographs, photo-collages and sculptures, revealing telling relationships between these aspects of his practice. It includes a major new video work Half Brother 2013, commissioned by CCP with support from Irene Sutton. The exhibition not only allows us to see the consistency of Rosetzky’s vision, but to engage with a trajectory in his video that moves from lo-fi, singular portraits that borrow advertising’s aura, through to cinematic, long-duration work.

True Self: David Rosetzky Selected Works is a CCP and NETS Victoria touring exhibition curated by Naomi Cass, Director and Kyla McFarlane, Associate Curator, Centre for Contemporary Photography, Melbourne. The development, presentation, promotion and tour of this project has been assisted by the Australian Government through the Australia Council for the Arts, its arts funding and advisory body. The catalogue publication is made possible by support from the Gordon Darling Foundation.

CATALOGUE:

True Self will be accompanied by a full-colour, 52-page publication featuring an interview with the artist and texts by twelve Australian writers speaking from a wide range of disciplines, each addressing a single work. The catalogue is made possible by support from the Gordon Darling Foundation. The catalogue is sold for $5.
