MEET THE JUDGE

Meg slater, curator, international exhibition projects, National Gallery of Victoria (NGV)

Joining our Judging Panel this year is MEG SLATER (she/they), Curator, International Exhibition Projects department at the National Gallery of Victoria (NGV).

Since 2017, Meg has worked on a number of the NGV’s major international exhibitions, including MoMA at NGV: 130 Years of Modern and Contemporary Art,French Impressionism from the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston and the forthcoming Pierre Bonnard: Designed by India Mahdavi. Meg was also one of the five curators who organised QUEER: Stories from the NGV Collection (2022), the most historically expansive thematic presentation of its kind ever presented by an Australian art institution.

In 2021, Meg completed a Master of Art Curatorship at the University of Melbourne with First Class Honours. Meg's thesis explored the potential for large arts institutions to more meaningfully engage with marginal subjects and histories through exhibition making and programming.

All artworks entered will be displayed to the public from 24 June–7 July 2023.
