Last night we celebrated the opening of Anne Zahalka's survey exhibition at the National Art School, ZAHALKAWORLD – An artist’s archive. Swipe through to see beautiful images from the opening, which was launched by NAS CEO and Director, Steven Alderton, alongside exhibition curator Anouska Phizacklea.
First presented in Naarm/Melbourne at the Museum of Australian Photography (MAPh) in 2023, this iteration of ZAHALKAWORLD at the National Art School will contain over 100 artworks from 15 different photographic series, including the iconic Resemblance series, Bondi: Playground of the Pacific and the more recent Wild Life series.
Also on display will be the Kunstkammer – a life-size recreation of Zahalka’s house-studio within the gallery space, for which she won the Bowness Prize in 2023. Imaginative, immersive and playful, the installation invites audiences into the artist’s working life and creative process to explore the illusionary worlds for which she is renowned.
