Art Forum: Dean Cross

Wednesday 24 July, 1–2pm, Black Theatre

Join artist Dean Cross for the next edition of Art Forum.

Dean Cross is a descendant of the Worimi nation and currently is in residence at The Clothing Store Studio’s through Carriageworks. Dean’s visual arts practice builds on his extensive international career as a contemporary dance choreographer and performer. Now his work encompasses video, performance, painting, print-making, photography and sculpture in the expanded field.

Dean’s work looks to investigate, comprehend and critique the world we live in, addressing socio-political and cultural norms while reinvigorating them with contemporary understanding. His work often draws on his Indigenous ancestry to interrogate our post–colonial epoch, with a burning desire to understand what it means to be a 21st century Australian.
