DiscoverSally Kidall is an internationally recognised conceptual artist known for her expansive, site-responsive interventions created in challenging sites and distinctive buildings, beyond the constraints of the traditional gallery.
Her predominantly temporary works occupy natural and urban environments, incorporating virtual and narrative elements alongside video, sound and living materials and frequently collaborating with practitioners from other disciplines.
Kidall’s practice explores metaphorical and liminal environments, engaging with the anxieties and insecurities of contemporary society while seeking to provoke thought, raise questions and stimulate dialogue among diverse audiences. With a background in sculpture and interior architecture, she received her MA from Portsmouth University, UK. Her extensive exhibition history spans numerous notable locations worldwide, with work presented across Europe, the UK and Australia, including Andorra, Canada, Croatia, Finland, France, Germany, India, Italy, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Senegal, South Korea, Spain, Ukraine and the USA.
During this invaluable six-day residency, I plan to step outside the continual creative cycle of production and outcomes, entering a purposeful period of lying fallow that opens space for deep contemplation, reflection, experimentation and renewal. This pause enables me to reconsider more meaningful, sustainable and imaginative ways of working. The native landscape of the Bundanon estate will serve as a rejuvenating site to continue my exploration of liminality as both concept and lived condition, inhabiting thresholds between pause and possibility. In this way, the residency becomes a transitional chamber for regeneration, research and future directions, consciously enacting liminality itself.
