Queer Australian Art and KINK acknowledge the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the traditional owners and custodians of the lands and waters of this continent. KINK conducts its work on the unceded lands of the Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung and Bunurong peoples of the Kulin Nation in Naarm Melbourne, the Turrbal and Jagera peoples in Meanjin Brisbane and the Gadigal lands of the Eora Nation, Sydney. We pay respect to elders past, present, and emerging. Sovereignty was never ceded.

Bio

Lisa Zanderigo is a practicing Visual Artist of 35 years, with a Master of Visual Arts in Photomedia from Sydney University. Lisa has lectured in Photography and Visual Arts for over 28 years, including at the Australian Centre for Photography, Sydney College of the Arts, University of Technology Sydney and the Australian Film Television and Radio School.

Zanderigo's early work was in Documentary Photography, and was inspired by the Documentary greats like Henri Cartier Bresson, Josef Koudelka and Sebastiao Salgado. She was one of the photographers who worked on the Mardi Gras book The Night of Your Life and documented the LGBTQI+ community over the years. After this her work shifted away from the documentary format to mixed media and installation. This gave her more scope to investigate ideas around identity, gender & sexuality and was inspired by artists such as Barbara Kruger, Cindy Sherman, Bill Viola, Fiona Hall, and Bill Henson.

Zanderigo has an exhibition history of 35 years that includes exhibitions at Stills Gallery and Roslyn Oxley 9, reviews in Photofile, Art Monthly, Artlink and Art+Text, work in collections including the Art Gallery of NSW, Waverly Public Library and private collections and work published in books including The Night of Your Life and Bicentennial Documentary Project.

Around the turn of the century, in her mid-career, Zanderigo moved away from Photomedia as it advanced into the digital era, to painting, preferring to work with the more tactile & visceral medium of mark-making provided by painting and drawing. She completed the “Painting Like The Masters” oil painting course with Charlie Sheard along with the “Australian Tonal Impressionism” course with Pablo Tapia.
