Julie Rrap: Body Double
"Perhaps it is not so much that my work lacks expression, but that the form of this expression is more veiled or indirect." – Excert from the Book Body Double by Julie Rrap
The Shot from the cover of the book Body Double
I’m surprised I missed this one till now as I’m a big fan. It appears that the gifted Aussie visual Artist Julie Rrap has an exhibition at the Museum of Contemporary Art. Titled Body Double to tie in with the book of the same name it showcases Rrap’s wide range of mediums.
According to the mca.com.au the focus of this particular set of works is her “Trickster” style including “photography, video, sculpture and installation”.
Julie Rrap provokes reaction
Creating physical illusions by manipulating the perceptions of body image, there is a perceived cultural statement or comment on humanity behind each effort.
Right from her first displays in 1982 she has proved transgressive and provocative. Her imaginative ideas catch the eye and stay in the mind long after viewing.
Splittying it up
Prolific in her output over the years, Julie Rrap’s profile has steadily increased seeing her now recognized as one of our most inspired avante garde artisans.
The exhibition is FREE and please visit mca.com.au for more information.
