Sally Smart (b.1960) is one of Australia’s leading contemporary artists recognized internationally for large-scale cut-out assemblage installations and increasingly, performance and video, her practice engages identity politics and the relationships between the body, thought and culture including trans-national ideas that have shaped cultural history.
Smart’s most recent work includes artisan embroideries as assemblage elements in her 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, mapping multiple ideas, temporalities and space—a materialisation of thought/gesture/ action.
The recipient of numerous awards and prizes, Smart is currently Vice -Chancellor’s Professorial Fellow, University of Melbourne, a board member (Deputy Chair) National Association for the Visual Arts (NAVA) and was awarded an Australia Council Fellowship (2014) and Sackler Fellow Artist-in Residence, University of Connecticut, USA (2012).
Sally Smart’s major public art commission Shadow Trees was installed in Melbourne Australia (2014).
