1.00 - 2.30pm
Saturday 28th October
Clare Rae explores ideas of performance and gesture to interrogate and subvert dominant modes of representation. Her work is informed by feminist theory and presents an alternate and often awkward experience of subjectivity and the female body, usually the artists’ own.
Dr Alison Bennett’s practice is situated in ‘expanded photography’ where the boundaries have shifted in the transition to digital media and become diffused into ubiquitous computing. Their creative projects have tested the creative and discursive potentials of augmented reality, photogrammetry, 3D scanning, point clouds, virtual reality and webXR as encompassed by the medium and practice of photography.
Dr Pia Johnson’s practice emerged out of a concern with issues of cultural identity and difference, stemming from her mixed background of Chinese and Italian-Australian descent. These themes have underpinned her interest in memory, cultural spaces and performance – where she often features within her works – to investigate notions of transcultural identity, belonging and otherness through photography, moving image and installation.
Join finalists Bennett, Rae and Johnson with MAPh Senior Curator Angela Connor for an insight to each artist's practice, their Bowness Photography Prize work and their current ideas and interests.
