2009 Clemenger Contemporary Art Award
NGV Australia, The Ian Potter Centre
The Clemenger Contemporary Art Award has a well-deserved reputation as one of the most prestigious and exciting visual arts events in Australia. Previous recipients of the Award are Bea Maddock (1993), Richard Larter (1996), John Nixon (1999), John Mawurndjul (2003) and Judy Watson (2006).
The 2009 Clemenger Contemporary Art Award is the sixth in the series and will draw together a group of established artists whose work is conceptually and stylistically diverse, yet unified in its engagement with some of the prevailing cultural and social issues of contemporary life. As the previous five exhibitions have demonstrated, the Clemenger Contemporary Art Award is national in its scope, cross-generational, and brings into dialogue the works of Indigenous and non- Indigenous Australian artists.
