Cate Consandine Read Bio Collapse
Melbourne-based artist Cate Consandine works across a wide range of formal and discursive media including sculpture and spatial practice, film, and performance. She works with the body as material for her practice and is particularly interested in the physical expression of emotional and psychological states, centering on the relationships between bodies and their contingent registers. Her work envisions affective embodied perspectives on moving-image practices in dialogue with sculpture and situated screen architecture. Meditating upon the peripheral dimensions of the female gaze, her work seeks to locate experience between stillness and movement, or the place where desire is posited—the edge of movement—and particularly fixes on the liminal body; a body on edge in the landscape. Consandine has exhibited locally and internationally including: Buxton Contemporary (Melbourne), Galeri Soemardja (Bandung, Indonesia), Museum of Contemporary Art (Taipei), POSCO Art Gallery (Seoul), Sydney Theatre Warf (Sydney), Institute of Contemporary Arts – ICA (London), the Melbourne Art Fair (Melbourne), the International Festival & Fair For Video Art (Barcelona), Belfast Exposed (Ireland), Art Gallery of NSW (Sydney), Centre of Contemporary Photography (Melbourne), Heide Museum of Modern Art (Melbourne), and Gertrude Contemporary (Melbourne).
