Tay Haggarty
Bio
Tay Haggarty’s practice explores how reductive forms can be used as an open field to reflect upon personal and shared queer experience. Their works take the form of collaborations, performances, videos, sculpture and public art. Haggarty uses industrial and ready-made materials that, when arranged within a space, heighten precarious elements through tension and balance. Their work is often minimal and site specific.
Haggarty is a co-director of DRIVER ARI and is one half of the collaborative duo Parallel Park. They completed a post graduate degree in Public Art at Monash University in 2022 and their Bachelor of Fine Arts (Honours) degree at the Queensland University of Technology in 2015. They have had solo shows at the Institute of Modern art, Kunstbunker ARI and Wreckers Artspace. Haggarty has also shown in group exhibitions with Metro Arts, Bus Projects, UNSW Galleries and more. They were the 2019 recipient of the Jeremy Hynes award.
