Research Supervisor Connect
Dr Alex Gawronski is a contemporary artist working across multiple media as well as a writer and independent gallerist. He has a particular interest in the implications of galleries and museums as cultural sites of spatial and socio-political contestation. Gawronski’s PhD, No New Utopia: The Crisis of Art as Critique Under Globalisation was awarded by the University of Sydney in 2006. It considered the challenges posed by the multifarious commercialising trends, vastly accelerated by global neoliberalism, to contemporary art as a form of critical practice. Gawronski has exhibited widely nationally and internationally.
