Sue Gallagher is currently co-ordinator of MAP Media Arts & Performance, Head of Postgraduate Department, in the School of Art & Design, at AUT University, and the New Zealand Curator for the 2011 Prague Quadrennial: 12th International Exhibition of Performance Design and Space (National and Student Sections).
Sue's research practice explores performance (and other unstable media) as a platform that transgresses many art forms. It is her understanding from training as an architect and scenographer that spaces are not static and fixed creations, but subtle, communicative and transformative. Her practice investigates relationships between spatial design and performance; specifically architectural and performative environments, including installation, exhibition design, and media arts.
Performance, installation, video and other scenographic works have been exhibited in the Netherlands, Germany, Greece, Japan, Czech Republic, Canada and New Zealand.
