Anne Zahalka: ZAHALKAWORLD – an artist’s archive

Anne Zahalka is one of Australia’s most highly regarded photo-media artists who has exhibited extensively in Australia and overseas for over 40 years. ZAHALKAWORLD – an artist’s archive brings together key bodies of work that span Zahalka’s practice, presented alongside collected treasures from her archive that inform and inspire her. Encompassing material that is both personal and professional, intellectual and physical, these archival components are incorporated into a recreation of her house-studio within the gallery space. Imaginative, immersive and playful, this major survey exhibition invites audiences into the artist’s working life and her creative process to explore the illusionary worlds for which she is renowned. Curated by Anouska Phizacklea, Museum Director, MAPh.
