Sara Morawetz is a conceptual artist whose research-based, interdisciplinary practice reflects critically and poetically on the matter and methods of science. Interested in the systems and structures that shape how we see and what we know, her work interrogates scientific and cultural apparatus that convey precision, accuracy and determinacy, yet remain slippery, speculative and whimsical when ‘tested in the field.’
Her projects involve collaborations with scientists from MIT, NASA and NIST, and her work has been exhibited throughout Australia and internationally, including exhibitions at the Museé des Arts et Métiers, Australian Consulate-General New York, RAPID PULSE, Bathurst Regional Art Gallery and Dominik Mersch Gallery. Sara was awarded her PhD from the University of Sydney and has received numerous awards and prizes including ‘the churchie’ National Emerging Art Prize, the Vida Lahey Memorial Travelling Scholarship, the Marten Bequest Scholarship, as well as project funding from Creative Australia. Her work has been featured in publications including Frieze, Forbes, Scientific American, Aesthetica, Artist Profile, Prime: Arts Next Generation.
