David Sequeira: Curation as extended studio practice

Welcome to the University of TasmaniaChanging the world is not simple. It takes thought, time, persistence, and insight. But most of all, it takes something extraordinary. So at the University of Tasmania, we’ve made the pursuit of the extraordinary a never-ending commitment.It influences everything we do. The way we teach. The way we research. The way we learn. And the way we live.An environment made for learningWelcome to one of the world’s most spectacular natural environments. Framed by beaches, snowfields and wilderness, from our stunning island home in Tasmania we’re free to think on a bigger scale. Whether it’s in our teaching, research, or even student lifestyle, this unique landscape has prepared us to connect to the world. We’re also fortunate to be right in Tasmania’s vibrant cultural heart. From our MONA inspired arts boom to our established food, wine and coffee culture, Tasmania’s towns and cities are as cosmopolitan as anywhere in Australia. Friendly, vibrant and always changing, Tasmania’s as good a place to live, as it is to learn.From the bottom of the world, to the topOur ranking in the top two per cent of universities worldwide reflects our willingness to constantly challenge ourselves. We’ve never been afraid to take on the world – something we pass on to each of our more than 29,000 local, national and international students. Throughout their careers, this underpins the success of the 130,000 alumni we have spread across more than 120 countries.Internationally recognised teaching programs and research institutes like the Australian Maritime College (AMC), Menzies Institute and Institute for Marine and Antarctic Studies have built our reputation. With their vision and success, we’re standing out as an educational beacon and a global voice of learning.Our commitment to the extraordinary tells the world one thing. Wherever you’re from – and wherever you’re headed – at the University of Tasmania you have the opportunity to use education to become whoever or whatever you want.The University of Tasmania collects your information in order to assist us to deliver public events.

Dr David Sequeira, Artist, Curator, and Director, Fiona and Sidney Myer Gallery
David Sequeira’s diverse practice includes painting, sculpture, installation and curatorship. Using languages of colour, space, and geometry to intervene and rethink the standard histories, his work generates contemplative experiences that disrupt linear narratives about art. Sequeira’s work explores issues around high and low art, personal and shared histories, banality and profundity and the reverberations of colonisation. He has exhibited his work extensively throughout Australia and his work is currently on show in The National 4 Australian Art Now, at the Art Gallery of NSW and the TarraWarra Biennial. In addition to his studio practice, Sequeira has held senior positions in public cultural institutions. He is currently the Director, Fiona and Sidney Myer Gallery, University of Melbourne.
