Sally Smart (b.1960) is an Australian contemporary artist known for her large-scale assemblage installations that incorporate a range of media, including felt cut-outs, painted canvas, drawings, screen-printing, printed fabric and photography, performance and video.[1][2] Her art addresses gender and identity politics and questions the relationships between body and culture, including trans-national ideas that shaped cultural history. She has exhibited widely throughout Australia and internationally, and her works are held in major galleries in Australia and around the world.

Early life and education

Smart was born in 1960, in Quorn, South Australia.[3][4][5] She obtained a Diploma in Graphic Design from the South Australian School of Art, Adelaide in 1981,[3][4][5] [6] and completed a Post-graduate Diploma in Painting at the Victorian College of the Arts, Melbourne (1988),[7] followed by a Master of Fine Arts in 1991, also at the Victorian College of the Arts.[3][4][6]

Work

Smart's early work reflected the influence of Collage in painting in Australian art during the 1980s.[8] By the 1990s, "cutting and pasting ha[d] come to the fore" in Smart's work,[8] and she was creating "composition[s] of cut-out shapes [that] meander[] over the walls".[9]
The themes of gender and identity were central to Smart's work from the beginning.[10] Her 1996/1997 work, The Unhomely Body, reflects in its title "the idea of something being unsettling because it contains the familiar rendered unfamiliar, through the emergence of what was previously suppressed. Here the domestic environment is acknowledged as the historical site of female confinement."[8] Femmage Shadows and Symptoms further develops the themes of the home and inner emotions brought to the fore, with the large-scale installation "creating a surrealistic, dream-like pattern in which the viewer can discover suggestive images that are likely to trigger memories of childhood impressions".[9] Smart used the word femmage, created by feminist Miriam Schapiro, to explicitly link to historic traditions of women's making in many mediums and techniques, and feminist political discussions of such women's work.[7][11]

Sally Smart has exhibited at Singapore Art Museum, Singapore; Galeri Canna, Jakarta; Dark Heart: 2014 Adelaide Biennial of Australian Art, Art Gallery of South Australia, Adelaide; Negotiating This World, National Gallery of Victoria, Melbourne, Australia; The Pedagogical Puppet Contemporary Galleries, University of Connecticut, CT., USA; Gallery of Modern Art (GOMA), Brisbane, Australia and Iberia Center for Contemporary Art, Beijing, China.

Smart is currently Vice-Chancellor’s Fellow, University of Melbourne,[12] 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). She was a Trustee, at the National Gallery of Victoria, Australia from 2001-2008.


She currently lives and works Melbourne, Victoria. Hawker describes how Smart's "art reflects the subversive nature of the Avant-garde in women's art practice. Questions of gender and identity are key concerns in her work, and Smart seek particular inspiration from, and engages with, early twentieth-century innovative modernist women artists."[13]
