The Dax Centre, in partnership with RMIT University, is proud to present Re/Connect.
This major group exhibition features twelve recent RMIT School of Art graduates in creative response to the Cunningham Dax Collection.
As a part of The Dax Centre’s annual collection programming, Re/Connect invites emerging artists to explore personal and artistic connections with Collection artworks.
In asking the artists to examine ways in which they identify with collection artworks and artist stories, be it in a material or aesthetic sense, or in parallels in lived experience, the exhibition showcases a wide cross section of the Cunningham Dax Collection.
Through a diverse range of mediums, each artist brings their unique voice to the dialogue and creates a dynamic conversation that bridges the generational and thematic gaps of the collection.
By pairing emerging contemporary voices with the enduring legacy of the Cunningham Dax Collection, Re/Connect highlights the power of art in fostering understanding and connection within the broader conversation on mental health.
The exhibition features the following artists:
Molly Jane Baker / Sophia Xeros-Constantinides
Karen Yvette Clarke / Graeme Doyle
Kate Driscoll / Margaret Ericksen collection
Kirra Jeram / Patricia Stewart
Celline Mercado / Children’s Hospital Subcollection
Holly Clark-Milligan / Kate Zizys
Bo-dene Stieler / Renee Sutton
Sarah Vandepeer / James Dickson
Aiko Van Hay Yuen / Rosa Niran
