About
​
Sean Loughrey (b. 1964, Melbourne) is an Australian contemporary artist based on Wadawurrung Country, whose multifaceted practice spans photography, painting, video, sound and installation. Educated at Warrnambool Institute of Advanced Education, the Victorian College of the Arts and RMIT University, he completed a PhD at the University of Melbourne in 2016. Loughrey’s work explores the intersection of technology, image-making and materiality, creating works that merge digital and analogue processes to question how representation shapes perception and history. Since the late 1980s, he has been involved in exhibitions and collaborative projects for artist-run spaces and publicly funded galleries. He was also involved with the artist run initiative/collective ‘Ocular Lab’ between 2001-2010. Loughrey currently lectures in Art and Performance (Photography) at Deakin University.
