Rosslynd PiggottExtract: in 3 parts, 2008Australian Centre for Contemporary ArtdetailCURATORIAL APPROACHWhen Extract: in 3 parts was being developed for ACCA in 2008, Piggott was originally given the opportunity to exhibitin the main commission hall. Given this large space presented challenges for Piggott, with regard to the development ofher ideas, Piggott was then given the opportunity of using the three smaller galleries (a departure from previous HMSCrecipients). Juliana Engberg, the Commissioning Curator of the HMSC and Rosslynd Piggott agreed that the smallerspaces offered greater potential for the artist to realise her ideas.For the HMSC tour to Ballarat, Piggott has again worked with the intimacy of three interlocking spaces. Shown in thePowell Galleries at the Art Gallery of Ballarat, that normally house the Gallery’s Collection of Australian Art from the 1950sand 1960s, the series of three rooms will reflect the interlinking ACCA spaces and subtle colouration shifts, and, will bepainted with a series of subtly shifting greys to accommodate the work.Visitors will also be able to look from the Helen Macpherson Smith Gift, to view previous works by Piggott, selected fromBallarat’s Permanent Collection, on display during the course of the exhibition. At the entrance to the exhibition, Piggottwill also work with members of Ballarat’s bonsai society to present a series of bonsai plant displays that will change duringthe course of the show.In the first gallery, significant construction has be undertaken for the installation of the magnolia projections. Gallery twodisplays the gift component, a palladium painting, a mirror work, shelf and mirrored vessel. The final gallery houses anight sea projection filmed at Stradbroke Island, alongside a suspended black lacquered box, that holds an illuminateddiamond.acca education 03
