Julian Dashper Visits Sydney College of the Arts

New Zealand artist, Julian Dashper will be a Visiting Scholar at Sydney College of the Arts until 28 April.

April, 2008

Dashper’s work from the last 25 years has been the subject of a major touring retrospective in America, making him the first New Zealand artist to have an exhibition of this magnitude mounted by an international museum. During his time at Sydney College of the Arts, Dashper will be involved in tutorials, seminars and lectures. His visit is made possible by the Research Residency Program, which will culminate in an exhibition of his work from 14 to 28 April.

Dashper’s work focuses on the histories, theories and more general or popular ideas of abstraction, conceptualism and minimalism as a working methodology. The geographical positioning of New Zealand globally and how this country receives and disseminates visual information is also a core subject in Dashper's work.
