BIO
Tay Haggarty is a Brisbane (Magan-djin) based multidisciplinary artist making at the intersections of performance, video and sculpture. Their practice is interested in queer abstraction and explores how reductive forms can be used as an open field to reflect upon personal and shared queer experience. The materials or props used are frequently industrial or ready-made and their work is often collaborative, 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, Kunst bunker ARI and Wreckers Artspace. Haggarty has also shown in group exhibitions with Metro Arts, Bus Projects, UNSW gallery and more. They were the 2019 recipient of the Jeremy Hynes award and in 2023, selected as the lead artist for the queer temporary public art project with Burrinja Cultural centre.
