Melanie Jackson: Hot Flash
Hot Flash is a solo exhibition of ceramic sculpture, animation and drawing by Melanie Jackson, that brings together two bodies of recent work, Rouge Flambé and Spekyng Rybawdy, in a pair of installations across Exeter Phoenix’s two gallery spaces. Together, they present us with an assembly of conceptual nomads, drawn from medieval sculptures of dissent; to incendiary (colonial) trading histories; to a fascination with technoscience’s visions and chimeras.
Rouge Flambé links fire, flame and kiln to sun, water and earth. Suffused in a fiery-red glow and inhabiting an unforgivingly human landscape, Jackson’s ceramic beasts prance, preen and perform across the gallery space, reflecting and refusing the different narrative functions that humans project on to them. They are joined here by a strange new vision of life – a chimera conjured up by AI, generated through algorithmic worm holes bored through ceramic visual cultures, scraped from this reluctant and unwitting commons. Jackson’s
installation makes connections from sun worship to scorched earth; from the mediaeval bestiary to contemporary meme animals; from the red of shame and humiliation to the red of anger and defiance; to joy, luck and hope – the spectre of extinctions vying with small acts of resistance.
