Fiona Jack (New Zealand) - Exhibition
Fiona Jack’s installations/wall paintings investigate the conceptual,
geographical and political definitions of shared space – a space that includes
linguistic, physical, social and historical contexts.
By calling attention to things as diverse as a list of the nationalities excluded
from a dictionary, to the barriers constructed along borders around the world
since 9/11 in the name of national security, Ms Jack questions the terms and
structures that shape our lives.
Ms Jack graduated with an MFA from CalArts in Los Angeles in 2005 and has
since exhibited in England, Chile, Australia, USA and New Zealand. She is a
Lecturer at the University of Auckland and lives in New Zealand.
Fiona Jack is a guest of RMIT University through the School of Art
International Artist in Residence Program (AIR) and The South Project Inc.
