Tacita Dean

One of the most important living artists of our times, Tacita Dean (b. 1965, United Kingdom) is renowned for her singular poetic vision and distinctive body of works, which encompass film, photography, sound, installation, drawing, printmaking and collage. This Sydney-exclusive exhibition will bring together important artworks, the substantial majority created by the artist in the last five years, that convey Dean’s extraordinarily beautiful investigations into chance, memory, entropy, history and the passing of time. A remarkable sensory experience, the exhibition will feature significant works that have never been exhibited in Australia including recent film works, monumental chalkboard drawings, important photographic and print series, and spectacular installations that have resulted from the artist’s designs for the highly acclaimed The Dante Project, a collaboration with choreographer Wayne McGregor and composer Thomas Adès for The Royal Ballet. The major presentation is curated by Suzanne Cotter, Director and Jane Devery, Senior Curator, Exhibitions, with assistance by Megan Robson, Associate Curator, Exhibitions.
