Ngaio Parr

Curation
Brisbane

Mentor: Russell Storer

Ngaio Parr is an emerging curator, arts writer, arts worker, and artist.

As an artist, Ngaio utilises video installations to explore how mass media shapes conventional vocabularies of film and celebrity cultures, and an experimental and exploratory drawing practice that engages with disparity between traditional and unconventional beauty.

As an arts worker, Ngaio has worked in institutions including the Institute of Modern Arts and the Gallery of Modern Art, and completed a traineeship in Public Programs at the Ipswich Art Gallery. Most recently, Ngaio has been invited to continue her work at the Ipswich Art Gallery as their new Public Programs Officer.

As an arts writer, Ngaio formed her passion for critiquing, reviewing, and writing about the visual arts throughout her degree. She recently published her first professional review in Eyeline Magazine, and continues to write reviews, essays and commentaries for artists, galleries, and journals.
