Exhibition:
Breaking Ice/ Revisioning Antarctica at the Adam Art Gallery/Te Pātaka Toi, University of Wellington, NZ, 2005.
The curator Sophie Macintyre selected Davie’ work Ice/ Plain as a glass of water for the exhibition Breaking Ice/ Revisioning Antarctica. She wrote in the exhibition catalogue that this exhibition explored the ways in which Antarctica has been perceived and imagined, historically and culturally. Featuring work by eight contemporary artists from New Zealand and Australia, Breaking Ice presented visual translations of experiences, perceptions and fantasies of Antarctica in distinctive and critical ways, playfully critiquing the processes of Antarctica’s visual representation and revealing the ways that it has been mythologised.
This exhibition was toured in 2006 to the Invercargill Museum, Invercargill in the South island of New Zealand.
Exhibition:
Ice/Plain as a Glass of Water , 2004, zinc found objects, 200 x 60 x 5 (d)cm in The Year in Art 2004 at the S.H. Ervin Gallery, Sydney, Australia, 2004.
The Year in Art 2004 exhibition aimed to present the best works selected from exhibitions that had been held at Sydney commerial art galleries throughout the year of 2004. The three invited selectors, Laura Murray Cree, Nick VIckers and Jane Watters, viewed most of the exhibitions throughout the year and nominated fourty-eight works that they believed represented the scope of contemporary art practice. Davies’ work Ice/Plain as a Glass of Water was nominated by Nick Vickers.
