Despard Gallery 15
Castray Esplanade Hobart
It is not unusual for
artists to need injections of funds every so often for the development
and production of new works.
Artists Jacqui Stockdale and Lucia Rossi have gathered together from
their archives a collection of more than thirty rare and unusual works
which they are offering for auction to raise funds for their
collaborative project Isola Corpo. This project involves the creation
of new works on the relationship between island identity and the body,
with the inaugural exhibition of this work to be shown at the Carnegie
Gallery, Hobart, in late November, with a proposed national tour for
2008/2009.
Despard Gallery has represented both artists for some years now, and it
has been an exciting journey to witness and support the development of
their professional practice, their concepts, themes and ideas.
The evening promises to be a memorable and entertaining occasion for
discerning collectors. We take great pleasure in offering to you this
fantastic opportunity to acquire unique works from the archives of
Jacqui Stockdale and Lucia Rossi, and the chance to support these
artists in the development and presentation of new works.
