Visual Arts – SCEGGS Staff Exhibitions and NAS Holiday Workshops
This week’s banner is by Year 11 student, Coco Riminton, part of a larger Body of Work she is working on depicting the Australian Landscape.
Michaela Gleave: Exhibiting at The Blake Prize and Dominik Mersch Gallery
Michaela Gleave is not only the Assistant to the SCEGGS Visual Arts Department but also a highly regarded contemporary artist whose conceptual practice spans numerous mediums and platforms including digital and online works, installation, performance, photography, sculpture, and video. Her projects question the nature of reality and our innate relationship to time, matter, and space, focussing particularly on the changing intersections between art, science and society.
Michaela is in two shows that open this week: she is a finalist in the prestigious Blake Prize at the Casula Powerhouse and is in a group show at Dominik Mersch Gallery in Rushcutters Bay.
View her work for the Blake Prize here (12 March – 22 May 2022)
