TAMARA DEAN

Tamara Dean is a critically acclaimed photo media artist working in photography, installation and moving image. Her practice explores our connection to nature and rites of passage in contemporary life. In each of Dean’s photographs, her subjects quietly and intimately engage with their natural surroundings. The artist’s unique understanding of light and landscape reveal sensual pieces that invite contemplation.

She was awarded the 2020 Goulburn Art Prize and she has won the Moran Contemporary Photographic Prize (2019); Josephine Ulrick & Win Schubert Photography Award (2018);  Meroogal Women’s Art Prize (2018); and the Olive Cotton Award (2011).

Her work has been acquired by the National Gallery of Australia, Canberra ACT; Parliament House Art Collection, Canberra ACT; Art Gallery of South Australia; Mordant Family Collection Australia; Artbank Australia; Balnaves Collection Australia; and Francis J. Greenburger Collection, New York.

Come and watch Tamara Dean's brilliant video installation 'Dysrhythmia', projected onto the outside wall of the Berry Showground Pavilion, while listening to live music by Damien Lane, who created the soundtrack to the video. Gather round an open barrel fire while you sip hot drinks.

Saturday 24th June 5pm - 7Pm, Outside Berry Showground Pavilion
