NVAEC 2019 Day 2 Featured Artist: Sally Smart


One of Australia’s leading contemporary artists recognised internationally for large-scale cut-out assemblage installations and performance and video, Sally Smart's practice engages identity politics and the relationships between the body, thought and culture including trans-national ideas that have shaped cultural history. In her recent project The Choreography of Cutting she re-imagines and encapsulates a dynamic discourse between the historical and contemporary avant-garde using experimental performance, costume design and visual art forms. Smart is represented in significant public and private collections in Australia, New Zealand, Germany and the USA. For further information about the National Visual Art Education Conference held at the National Gallery of Australia from 21–23 January 2019 visit www.nga.gov.au/nvaec.
