Jacqueline Fraser (born 14 March 1956) is a New Zealand artist of Ngāi Tahu descent.[1][2]
Early life
Fraser was born in 1956 in Dunedin, New Zealand. She studied at the Elam School of Fine Arts in Auckland from 1974 to 1977.[2]
Work and career
Fraser's early work involved installations, inside gallery spaces and in outdoor environments, where she used natural and artificial materials which were woven, plaited, stretched and tied into delicate constructions.[2] Art historian Anne Kirker compared her work from the 1970s and 1980s to 'three-dimensional drawings in space'.[3]: 168
From early in her career Fraser was included in significant exhibitions, including the Mildura Sculpture Triennial (Mildura, Australia, 1978); the 1979 Biennale of Sydney; ANZART, the first Australia-New Zealand artist exchange developed by artist and curator Ian Hunter in (Christchurch, 1981); Perspecta 1986 (Art Gallery of New South Wales); NZXI (Auckland City Art Gallery; Art Gallery of New South Wales, Sydney; and Contemporary Art Institute, Brisbane, 1988)[2][3]: 168 Fraser was also one of seven artists in the 'ground-breaking' 1990 exhibition Choice! curated by George Hubbard for Artspace in Auckland.[4]
In 1992 Fraser lived and worked in
In 2001 Fraser, along with Peter Robinson, represented New Zealand in its first participation at the Venice Biennale.[8] Fraser's installation work, A Demure Portrait of the Artist Strip Searched with 11 Details of Bi-Polar Disorder, is now in the collection of the Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa.[9]
Fraser's work of the 1980s and 1990s was often discussed in contemporary art criticism and theory in terms of identity and cultural politics, and for links to her Māori heritage.[10] From 2000 she has purposefully recast her career and work in an international framework, living and working in Paris and New York.[11]
