'15 Minutes of Fame' talk: Scott Redford (6.00 and 7.00pm)
Scott Redford is a Brisbane artist and curator who was born on the Gold Coast. His work has been represented at several major survey exhibitions including 'Fieldwork: Australian Contemporary Art 1968–2002' (National Gallery of Victoria, Melbourne, 2003), 'Australian Culture Now' (National Gallery of Victoria, Melbourne, 2004), 'Australian Perspecta' (Art Gallery of New South Wales, Sydney, 1999) and the 1996 and 2006 Adelaide Biennales at the Art Gallery of South Australia. Scott has exhibited internationally at the Taipei Art Museum, Taiwan; the Zacheta National Gallery of Art, Warsaw; and the Contemporary Art Centre, Vilnius, Lithuania. In 2001 he was awarded the Australia Council Residency at the Kunstlerhaus Bethanien, Berlin.
Scott's recent solo exhibitions include Bricks Are Heavy (Institute of Modern Art, Brisbane, 2006), which surveyed the artist's work from the 1990s to today, and Blood Disco (Art Gallery of New South Wales, Sydney, 2007–08), featuring a series of seven 'surf paintings' manufactured in the style of commerical surfboards. These works reference popular art and culture through iconic Gold Coast images, ranging from high-rise buildings and palm trees to popular surf labels.
