Early in her career, in 1993, Drummond and painter Geoff Lowe were invited by curator Juliana Engberg to produce an exhibition involving collaboration with Vietnamese artists supported by [[Asialink]]'s Australian art to Asia project and hosted by the [[Hanoi]] School of Art. Choosing to show typical examples of their Australian contemporary art practice, Drummond took long contact proofs, titled ''Voyeur'' and excepted from monochrome [[Super 8 film|Super 8]] footage which had been made between 1960-65, which could be unrolled and pinned to the gallery wall either horizontally or vertically, allowing viewers' own interpretation of narrative, and reported that some of the Vietnamese artists were surprised she chose not to frame her photographs.

Revision as of 06:33, 16 December 2021

Rozalind Drummond (born 1956) is a photographic artist and an early exponent of postmodernism in Australia.

Education

Drummond trained in fine art at Prahran College 1982-84, then over 1985–86 undertook a Post Graduate Diploma in Fine Art at the School of Art in the Victorian College of the Arts. In 1997 she was awarded a Samstag Scholarship of $30,000, plus airfares and fees, for a year of overseas study during which she took an MA in Fine at Goldsmiths College, London.[1] Co-recipients were Zhong Chen, Lyndal Jefferies, Steven Holland, and Julie Gough.[2] Later in Australia she completed a Master of Arts (Art in Public Space), RMIT University, Melbourne in 2017. Since then she has exhibited nationally and internationally and her work is in major public collections.

Practice

Early in her career, in 1993, Drummond and painter Geoff Lowe were invited by curator Juliana Engberg to produce an exhibition involving collaboration with Vietnamese artists supported by Asialink's Australian art to Asia project and hosted by the Hanoi School of Art.[3] Choosing to show typical examples of their Australian contemporary art practice, Drummond took long contact proofs, titled Voyeur and excepted from monochrome Super 8 footage which had been made between 1960-65, which could be unrolled and pinned to the gallery wall either horizontally or vertically, allowing viewers' own interpretation of narrative, and reported that some of the Vietnamese artists were surprised she chose not to frame her photographs. The exhibition was shown in Australia as Vietnam at the Waverley City Gallery from 25 February to 28 March 1993,[4] in which Zara Stanhope points to "Drummond's creative acts of framing and filming," and "unsettling juxtaposition of unfamiliar, geographically distant images" which "disrupt the convention of the invisible journalistic photographer {and] Western modes of narrative and brings about reconsideration of viewing responsibilities. Drummond also included a series of untitled black-and-white photos extracted from an unfinished video taken by Drummond in Vietnam in which scenes in motion were rendered blurred and out of focus. A single framed passport photo facing a group of like images at opposite ends of a long narrow space that for Stanhope signify "the individual made poweriess before structures of the mass or of nation. The passport proves the existence of the refugee and reminds us that those who cross frontiers are, like criminals, the objects ol surveillance."[5]

On her own work in the collaborative visual research project "Flows and Catchments" conducted at Lake Bolac 2012-14 while she was a lecturer at Deakin University,[6][7][8] Drummond concludes that the photograph acts as a 'signpost':

"Photography inevitably entails a certain characterization of reality. From being "out there" the world comes to be "inside" photographs -- a visual sliver, a grab, and an upload, a perpetual tumble cycle of extruded images existing everywhere yet nowhere. While the outside, the "out there" is brought within the frame of the photograph, I am interested rather in looking, through the viewfinder, to spaces that work the other way, which suggest the potential to locate a "non-space" -- where the inside suggests an outside or empty space [...] The viewer may well peer in and look for everything that appears to have been left out. Thus, the photograph becomes a recollection of what Roland Barthes calls "a disruption in the topography" -- we imagine a "beyond" that evokes a sense of melancholy or of irrevocably sliding toward it"[9]

Reception

Reviewers recognise an elliptical gaze in Drummond's oeuvre, though not always appreciative of it earlier in her career; indeed, Beatrice Faust slighted her contributions to the National Gallery of Victoria's 1988 Excursions into the Postmodern: Five Melbourne Photographers; New Acquisitions, writing that she had failed to make "a coherent body of work," and that beside John Gollings' studies "powerful melding of architectural, pornographic and optical images," hers were "sketchy and trivial."[10] Canberra Times critic Helen Musa by contrast understood in 1992 that Drummond "uses photography to exploit the distance between the real and the fictional."[11]

Stuart Koop qualified such a response in comparing separate 1991 exhibitions by Drummond (Scopic Territories at Australian Centre for Contemporarv Art) and Wolfgang Sievers' industrial photographs (at National Gallery of Victoria) to identify her...

"...apparently total abdication of authorial responsibility in [ . . . ] a dependence on everything extrinsic to the photograph which has come to characterise the critical import of postmodern photography as some kind of institutional critique; this in contrast to the intrinsic formalism of modern photography," noting "[Sievers'] (perhaps naive) confrontation of power, capital, social control, or whatever, in the construction of aesthetic forms, [while Drummond], in retreat. hopes rather to spy a random trace of their omnipresence, poking the camera into a city's spaces for a glimpse of puissance. The difference is a capitulation of sorts before the unrelenting advance of "capital" manifest in theories such as Debord's."[12]

Rebecca Lancashire likewise, in reviewing Location, at Australian Centre for Contemporary Art in 1992, notes "Rozalind Drummond's black and white Melbourne scenes, deliberately out of focus: images of flux and uncertainty,"[13] and Zara Stanhope the following year, discussing Reflex also at ACCA, an exhibition of "bad" photography in which Drummond's work appeared with that of Susan Fereday, Graeme Hare, Les Walking and David Stephenson, described hers as "dynamic images;"

"Abstracting the real, the works in "Reflex" restage the classical struggle between the expressive and the descriptive, the subjectivity of the gaze and the indexical qualities of photographic reproduction. The electric neon lighls illuminating the form of Western and Eastern cities appear out of the night in Rozalind Drummond's...They provide the viewer with only a transitory glimpse, insufficient to discern the figure in the darkness, or to culturally position oneself."[14]

Drummond has applied a feminist visual critique to gender. Reacting to her 1996 exhibition Bunny Rug reprising American pinup photographer Bunny Yeager's self-portraits reviewer Bruce James of the Sydney Morning Herald finds himself "unpersuaded but provoked."[15] In a 1997 issue of ArtAsiaPacific,[16] Natalie King described the installation Peeping Tom (1995) by Drummond as, “A group of large format, toned photographs … haphazardly pinned to the gallery walls like an archive,” suggesting not an institution but the “archive” as a collection of related things (whether in subject or form),[17] inviting, as Freda Freiberg remarks, "a surreptitious peep, if not a studied gaze, at the bodies and business of others..." and to "turn our gaze back on the professional peepers, to play their game. We are asked to play the sleuth."[18] However, reviewing more conventional imagery in Perfect for Every Occasion at Heide Museum of Modern Art in 2007, critic Robert Nelson dismissed as "feeble happy snaps," her portraits of youths; "Even the scene where one girl touches another, which is given the dramatic title Now Everyone Knows, seems unmomentous."[19] Penny Webb writing on Durmmond's 2007 collaborative show with Stuart Bailey, Carpetweed, at Victoria Park Gallery, Abbotsford, discerns a more effective "exchange ... established between these two bodies of work - six photographs pinned around the space; six constructions on the floor: a meeting of minds, you might say. Rozalind Drummond has cast a dispassionate eye on piles of materials and objects, discarded or yet to be claimed, in the process of some sort of office move or domestic upheaval."[20]
