Rodney Glick, artist

Since 2000, Rodney has been working on a project to build the world’s largest snow dome. The proposal consists of a giant acrylic structure, its walls lined with water, intended for display in sites around the world. It is, in effect, a portable exhibition space, designed to contain objects, particularly art works, which can be wheeled in and out of a trapdoor at the back. A quixotic experiment in construction as well as bureaucracy and fundraising, it could conceivably take years to realise. No matter; Glick is nothing if not patient. As an artist based in the isolated city of Perth, Western Australia, Glick is used to things moving a little more slowly and quietly, far from the eyes of the international art circuit. He has made a virtue of his location, constructing from it a wide field of possibilities for art making by means of sculpture, video, painting, photography, collage, slide projection, installation, books, architecture, public art, and furniture. Glick has also been instrumental in the founding and co-direction of spaces such as International Outcamp for the Arts-Gingin, International Performance Space-Tammin and International Art Space-Kellerberrin, Australia.

Rodney is represented by Godard de Fiddes Gallery, Perth.
