Boldly and insightfully written by Melinda Rackham and Elvis Richardson, CoUNTess: Spoiling Illusions Since 2008 offers insights and actions for change. Statistical analysis alongside cultural and feminist theory chart how the education of artists, the role of galleries and museums, art prizes, magazines, curators, collectors and philanthropists contribute to an artworld where women miss out. From original cheeky anonymous CoUNTess Blog posts to today's collaborative Countess.Report collective interventions, this is vital reading. Designed by Elliot Bryce Foulkes and Maria Smit.

The double gate makes obvious how barriers, division and imbalance work, creating differing and assymetrical power, order, space, and access. Where ESTABLISHMENT sits delicately ontop like a handwritten title, a signature, a law it feels fragile. While atop its pair a TREATY flag flys from a familiar flagpole whose arms extend within where an oval shaped hole in the gate infers access, self reflection, engagement and agreement and is a reminder this is not an empty space. Pink Blush powdercoat lends the cover of femininity, playfulness and approachability yet this work seeks to also undermine the patriarchal narratives in play. Now in the collection of the Australian National University to be installed 2025.

Accompanying works Generation Rent Rules and Score Board get the game night started.&nbsp; It’s a competition and you feel like the loser when you rent in Australia where property owners have more rights and benefits and you’re a human resource. &nbsp; <img width="1024" height="768" width_o="1024" height_o="768" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/6c0716a10a313d77de418fd9725a1385a1776ad9862f13b9f83559c0b4c16507/Erichardson_generationrent-scoreboard2022x.jpeg" data-mid="184094421" border="0" alt="Score Board 2022 Patinated mild steel, magnets and white spray paint 600 x 450 mm" data-caption="Score Board 2022 Patinated mild steel, magnets and white spray paint 600 x 450 mm" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/6c0716a10a313d77de418fd9725a1385a1776ad9862f13b9f83559c0b4c16507/Erichardson_generationrent-scoreboard2022x.jpeg" /> <img width="2171" height="2675" width_o="2171" height_o="2675" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/ef12af691732cf172d16f93e8a0e9c505e814f5e93147a4100607d0ac88c5f57/Erichardson_generationrent-scoreboard2022.jpg" data-mid="184094420" border="0" alt="Score Board 2022, Patinated mild steel, magnets and white spray paint 600 x 450 mm" data-caption="Score Board 2022, Patinated mild steel, magnets and white spray paint 600 x 450 mm" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/ef12af691732cf172d16f93e8a0e9c505e814f5e93147a4100607d0ac88c5f57/Erichardson_generationrent-scoreboard2022.jpg" /> <img width="2300" height="2800" width_o="2300" height_o="2800" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/340d1a56276b90c0812307d3f0b14e8588c8cbc4e697dc48f01ccf42f137252c/Erichardson_generationrent2022xx.jpg" data-mid="184094422" border="0" alt="Generation Rent 2022, Bent mild steel, magnets and white spray paint 900 x 700 mm " data-caption="Generation Rent 2022, Bent mild steel, magnets and white spray paint 900 x 700 mm " src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/340d1a56276b90c0812307d3f0b14e8588c8cbc4e697dc48f01ccf42f137252c/Erichardson_generationrent2022xx.jpg" /> <img width="2162" height="1441" width_o="2162" height_o="1441" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/8c760dde983391cb5fcde158b360c64491b4d3aab7beed0c72845eb1ba50f73e/Elvis-Richardson---01.09.2023-042.jpg" data-mid="189771805" border="0" alt="GENERATION RENT POEM 2023, Laser cut, mild steel, white powdercoat, 700 x 700 mm" data-caption="GENERATION RENT POEM 2023, Laser cut, mild steel, white powdercoat, 700 x 700 mm" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/8c760dde983391cb5fcde158b360c64491b4d3aab7beed0c72845eb1ba50f73e/Elvis-Richardson---01.09.2023-042.jpg" /> <img width="2162" height="1441" width_o="2162" height_o="1441" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/c30e7d674993c7fd37f1417dd99aa4509a9f62c1216f10ca7d63f24df960f33b/Elvis-Richardson---01.09.2023-036.jpg" data-mid="189771804" border="0" alt="GENERATION RENT POEM 2023, Laser cut, mild steel, white powdercoat, 700 x 700 mm" data-caption="GENERATION RENT POEM 2023, Laser cut, mild steel, white powdercoat, 700 x 700 mm" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/c30e7d674993c7fd37f1417dd99aa4509a9f62c1216f10ca7d63f24df960f33b/Elvis-Richardson---01.09.2023-036.jpg" /> GENERATION RENTNow in the Art Gallery of Ballarat collection.

The text and drawing in combination with the sellers thumbnail image, make visible the persistent narratives of colonisation found in the symbol and function of the gate whether civic or domestic. The resulting series of prints operate in the satirical traditions of The Onion or Mad Magazine etal presenting the ridiculous impossibility that current structures of power could be reduced to a garage sale, as a joke. <img width="768" height="1024" width_o="768" height_o="1024" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/6868127df9e0f49e4d5018d736d0c91431090e3c4a56e710766c7d5cea0e100f/E10A661F-EBD0-47CD-B32E-5AC88068C502_1_105_c.jpeg" data-mid="207237141" border="0" alt="The Gate Fanciers were printed at Devfto Studios Ubud Bali while on the DESA Residency Dec 2023." data-caption="The Gate Fanciers were printed at &lt;br&gt;

Drawings of domestic gates laser cut in 4mm corten steel, conceived of as small scale models, experiments welded like a snapshot in time, their shallow flatness struggling to keep upright, as the gate is decorative, dated and useless without a structure to attach to, a support. Longing to belong whilst being systematically excluded has been my lived experience as someone who was adopted into the closed adoption system in the 1960s. I have lived conditionally as a stranger in all my families due to being adopted - a legal matter forced upon me with life long consequences and no options for redress.&nbsp; To belong is to be from a place, a community, and more, belonging is legitimate affirmed identity and history.&nbsp; RADICAL GENEROSITY curated by Kathryne Honey@ Haydens Gallery OCT 2024 HAYDENS GALLERY ︎︎︎
