Fresh Cut 2006

3 February–10 March 20063 Feb–10 Mar 2006

Fresh Cut is our annual emerging artists exhibition, with works selected from the graduating student exhibitions at Queensland art schools. One of the high points is Kirsty Bruce’s installation of hundreds of small drawings and paintings on paper, religiously reproducing images from teen and fashion magazines. Sprinkled across the wall, Bruce’s inventory of poses suggests a teenage girl’s bedroom wall papered with favourite images. For complete contrast, Emma McLean stars in her own narcissistic video nasty, eating and regurgitating sausage meat. Her gross-out suggests a porn movie, albeit one that may not give us pleasure.

Artists

Peter Booth, Kirsty Bruce, Gail Cowley, Ritchie Ares Dona, Christian Flynn, Kirra Jamison, Davina Kelly, Jennifer Lowrey, Daniel McKewen, Emma McLean, Paul Mumme, Andrew Rewald, and Florence Tetuira.

The Institute of Modern Art acknowledges the traditional custodians of the land upon which the IMA now stands, the Jagera, Yuggera, Yugarapul, and Turrbal people. We offer our respect to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people as the first artists of this country. In the spirit of allyship, the IMA will continue to work with First Nations people to celebrate, support, and present their immense past, present, and future contribution to artistic practice and cultural expression.
