Shan Turner-Carroll

Artist CV

Shan Turner-Carroll (b. 1987) is an Australian artist of Burmese descent. Deeply fascinated with unearthing tacit knowledge, his practice integrates mediums including photography, sculpture, performance and film. The artist’s practice interrogates both human and non-human nature, alternative forms of social exchange and interactions between art, artist and viewer: sending and receiving signals. His work can sing to snakes, serenade and signal with aliens, and barter with islands, rivers, and oceans. Looking towards the multiplicity of connections between body and landscape, site-specificity is key to his practice, not only in making, but rather in how an embodied methodology of making emerges upon each site and location. Turner-Carroll sees art-making as ritualistic and transformative, using play, humor and experimentation as key elements within his current practice.

Recent selected solo exhibitions include: Edge of The Garden, COMA, Sydney, 2021; Bodies On A Rock, Maitland Regional Art Gallery, NSW, 2020; Poems To The Poems, Matsushima Bunko Museum, Japan, 2019. He was included in numerous group presentations recently include: From Impulse to Action, Bundanon Trust, NSW, 2022; The Blake Art Prize, Casula Powerhouse Arts Centre, Casula, 2022; It’s Only A Gift (If you See It As Gift), OuterSpace, Brisbane, 2021; Edge of The Garden, Murray Art Museum Albury, Albury, 2020; All The Rivers Run, The Australian Consulate, New York, USA, 2019; At The Edge Of The Universe, Pingyao International Festival of Photography, Pingyao, China, 2019.
