Dexter Rosengrave is an emerging Tasmanian artist. Rosengrave works primarily with performance, photography and video to explore language, subjectivity, identity and the marginalised body. Simultaneously, their practice is preoccupied with the materiality of objects. This includes turning to traces, residues and remnants to articulate lived experiences of life in the margins. Rosengrave completed their Bachelor of Fine Arts with first class Honours at the University of Tasmania in 2018. They have had several solo shows across Tasmania as well as having work shown in various interstate and Tasmanian group exhibitions. Rosengrave was the 2018 recipient of the funded Rosamond McCulloch Studio Residency in Paris. They also received an ANZ & Sydney Mardi Gras Grant to develop their project, ‘Body as an Archive: Tracking the Transgender Experience in Tasmania’. Rosengrave has worked alongside Marina Abramović and Cassils, and they co-performed with Mike Parr as part of Dark Mofo festival in 2019.
