Giselle Stanborough Opbra, 2013; Participatory performance, 1 hour; supplied
This week artists Frances Barrett (NSW), Giselle Stanborough (NSW) and Sally Rees (TAS) were named the recipients of Suspended Moment: The Katthy Cavaliere Fellowship, each awarded $100,000 to realise an ambitious new work.
It is the kind of fellowship that significantly alters an artist’s career. Giselle Stanborough, who will create her first institutional solo presentation for Carriageworks in March 2020, said: ‘Obviously it is life changing … No one ever wants to lose the emerging/early career hat – but then I thought, when am I going to get to that [next] level?’
