The Substation/ Artist/​Shan Turner-Carroll/

Shan Turner-Carroll is a queer, Anglo-Burmese Australian artist living and working on Wonnarua country in NSW.Shan’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 sings to snakes, serenades with aliens, and barters with islands, rivers, and oceans. 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. Art-making is ritualistic and transformative, using play, humour and experimentation are key elements within his current practice.

Recent achievements include a solo presentation with COMA Gallery at Melbourne Art Fair 2024, A four month residency with LungA School in Iceland, 2023. The AGNSW acquired five works “The Edge of The Garden” (2020), “From Impulse To Action'' Bundanon launch exhibition (2022). In 2021, Shan was an Art Incubator recipient, concluding in a solo and representation at COMA Gallery, Sydney. My solo “Bodies on a Rock” at Maitland Regional Gallery, in 2020, toured to MAMA Regional in “20:20”. Other recent exhibitions: “The Snake, The Rock and The River” COMA, 2022; “Inland Sea” Grafton Regional, 2022; “Interspecies and Other Others” Abbotsford Convent, 2022; “Where light meets dark” Casula Powerhouse, 2022; “friends, relations, lovers and ancestors” SCA Gallery, 2022.
