Dead Dog Gallery, October 2025

This exhibition explored the evolving role of the artist-teacher: a dual-identity professional whose creative and pedagogical practices are inherently interwoven. Rooted in a longstanding tradition of artists as educators, the artist-teacher model resists fixed definitions, instead embracing a fluid and reciprocal relationship between making and teaching.

Process celebrates artist-teachers working across educational sectors and disciplines. It reflects on the challenges and possibilities of sustaining a personal art practice within structured educational environments, where teaching itself becomes a form of creative inquiry. The exhibition highlights the nuanced negotiation of curriculum, institutional frameworks and personal expression, celebrating the artist-teacher as an agent of reflective, process-led learning.

This exhibition advocates for creative autonomy and professional agency. Artist-teachers are uniquely positioned to model imaginative thinking, resilience and critical engagement. Their practices affirm that the educational space is not simply a site of knowledge transfer, but a dynamic context for artistic experimentation and co-creation.

Process presents works and practices that are as much about exploration as resolution, where context and dialogue become essential tools of expression. It invites viewers to consider how pedagogy can inform practice, and how practice, in turn, can transform the act of teaching.
