The Josephine Ulrick and Win Schubert Photography Award platforms a range of traditional and expanded types of photographic media, from print to digital, large format, medium, and photographic process print by emerging and established artists across the country. This year, the Award celebrates twenty years and marking the occasion, a selection of winning and acquired works will be exhibited alongside those of this year’s forty finalists in a retrospective exhibition highlighting the impact of the Award over the past two decades.
Judge, Isobel Parker Philip, Senior Curator of Contemporary Australian Art at the Art Gallery of New South Wales, said:
“The finalists reflect the strength and breadth of contemporary photographic practice. Their work is urgent, emotive and deeply thoughtful. Photography as a medium possesses a unique ability to both reflect and complicate the world around us, and these artists exploit the expressive potential and political force of the medium to full effect. I can’t wait to see the exhibition take shape.”
