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.
