Timeline

1953

Fiona Margaret Hall, AO (born 16 November 1953) is an Australian artistic photographer and sculptor.

Hall was born to Ruby Payne-Scott, (a pioneer in radiophysics and radio astronomy), and telephone technician William Holman Hall in 1953 and grew up in Oatley, Sydney.

Hall's family lived close to Royal National Park and her parents often took her bushwalking on the weekends, encouraging an appreciation of nature that has had a strong influence on her art.

She is the younger sister of the mathematical statistician and probabilist Peter Gavin Hall.

1959

Hall attended Oatley West Primary School between 1959 and 1965, and Penshurst High School between 1966 and 1971.

Hall's mother recognised her artistic potential and took 14-year-old Hall to see the exhibition Two Decades of American Painting at the Art Gallery of New South Wales, which developed her interest in art.

Hall was initially interested in studying architecture, but upon leaving high school she decided to pursue art and studied a Diploma of Painting at the East Sydney Technical College (ESTC) (part of the National Art School).

1970

Through participation in the experimental art scene of early 1970s Sydney, where the conventions of modern art were being challenged through the exploration of art forms outside of painting and sculpture, Hall became interested in photography.

The ESTC did not offer a major in photography at that time, but her painting teacher John Firth-Smith mentored Hall in photography and she studied it under George Schwarz as a minor for her diploma.

1974

While still a student, Hall exhibited photographs as part of the Thoughts and Images: An Exploratory Exhibition of Australian Student Photography group exhibition at the Ewing and George Paton Galleries in 1974.

1975

Hall graduated from ESTC in 1975, her graduate exhibition solely featuring photography in lieu of any painting.

1976

After graduating, Hall lived in London, England between January 1976 and August 1978.

In the summer of 1976, Hall spent three months travelling around Europe, during which she visited numerous art institutions and gifts two of her photographs with Jean-Claude Lemagny - the Chief Curator of Photography - at the Bibliothèque nationale.

Upon her return to London, Hall began working with Peter Turner, editor of Creative Camera, a British photography Magazine.

Through this job Hall was introduced to Fay Goodwin, for whom she was an assistant for the remainder of her time in London.

1977

Hall held her first solo exhibition in 1977 at London's Creative Camera Gallery.

1978

Hall returned to Australia in 1978 to visit her mother, who was ill.

In that same year, she displayed her first Australian solo exhibition at Church Street Photography Centre, Melbourne, then moved to the United States to study for a Masters of Fine Arts (MFA) (Photography) at the Visual Studies Workshop in Rochester, New York.

1980

The 1980s saw Hall establishing a significant artistic profile for herself through involvement in several solo and group exhibitions across Australia.

During the 1980s, she created a number of series from everyday objects, including Morality Dolls - The Seven Deadly Sins, cardboard marionettes composed from photocopies of medical engravings; Illustrations to Dante's Divine Comedy, photographs of human figures made from painted and burnished aluminium cans; and Paradisus terrestris, in which Hall "used sardine tins to form exquisite sculptures of botanical specimens which sit on top of the open tin revealing human sexual parts which correspond physically to the attributes of the plant."

1981

As part of her study, Hall returned to Australia in 1981 to live as the artist-in-residence at the Tasmanian School of Art with the support of a grant from the Visual Arts Board of the Australia Council.

There, she created The Antipodean Suite with objects such as banana peel and power cords, an early demonstration of a consistent theme in her work, "the transformation of the everyday... into creations of imaginative beauty."

Also in 1981, five photographs by Fiona Hall were acquired by the Art Gallery of New South Wales, the first of her works to enter a public collection.

1982

Hall graduated with a MFA in 1982, and in the same year participated in the Biennale of Sydney.

1992

For four months over 1992–1993, the National Gallery of Australia hosted an exhibition of Hall's work titled The Garden of Earthly Delights: The Art of Fiona Hall, which included "early field photographs, a sampling from several series of studio photographs, as well as sculpture and ceramics."

1997

In 1997, Hall took leave without pay from the University of South Australia, and spent the second half of the year at Canberra School of Art as the Australian National University Creative Arts Fellow.

While living in Canberra, Hall planned and designed a commissioned work for the sculpture garden of the National Gallery of Australia.

1998

Instead of creating a sculpture for the gallery, as initially planned, Hall created Fern Garden, a 20-square-metre permanent installation of landscape art, opened to the public in 1998.

In this same year, she spent the first six months in London at the London Visual Arts/Crafts Board studio, then moved back in Australia as the Artist in Residence at Mt Coot-tha Botanic Gardens (where she created Cash Crop, 1998 (series), part of Fieldwork, 1999), and finally at the South Australian Museum in a series of informal residencies.

1999

She spent 1999 in Sri Lanka on an Asialink Lunuganga Residency.

Her subsequent work explored further the concepts of history, transporting and transplanting.

2015

Hall represented Australia in the 56th International Art Exhibition at the Venice Biennale in 2015.

She is known as "one of Australia's most consistently innovative contemporary artists."

Many of her works explore the "intersection of environment, politics and exploitation".
