Steven Rhall
2023 - 2025
Steven Rhall is a post-conceptual artist operating from a position informed by Taungurung, white-passing, cis male, neuro-divergent experiences/typologies. These biographical ‘framing devices’ frequently inform, and sometimes form the basis of his research, artistic concerns and production often located at various intersections pertaining to ideas of a ‘First Nation art practice’ and the Western art canon.
Rhall’s practice is further located when the relational concerns historical and contemporary presentation of art (and ‘Culture’) by First Nation peoples particularly in consideration of framing devices informing the authoring and perception of narrative and as ultimately underwriting the artistic encounter. Within this space, Rhall also interrogates ideas of the curator/curatorial and is interested in generative methodologies aligned with notions of the artist-curator, exhibition/gallery as form and related expanded fields.
