Anne
Zahalka is one of Australia's most recognised artists working in photomedia.
She recently completed a major commission for Sydney International
Airport portraying the city's richly diverse multicultural community.
A selection of her Leisureland series toured to Madrid for ARCO and
will also travel to the Netherlands for the Naarden FotoFestival,
a major photography exhibition in Europe, and throughout Asia in the
exhibition New Australiana which toured through regional galleries
in Australia between 2001-02. Zahalka was the recipient of the prestigious
Australia Council Fellowship which enabled her to develop regional
works for the Leisureland series and its tour throughout NSW.
During her twenty year practice Zahalka has produced some iconic images
of Australia. She works with familiar images of our nation and subverts
them in a humorous and critical voice. Her work has been collected
by all major museums in Australia and was represented in the National
Gallery of Australia's recent publication on art in their collection.
She has held numerous solo shows in Australia and several overseas.
