About
Sara Retallick is an artist, composer, and researcher living and working on Wurundjeri Country in Naarm (Melbourne).
Her work explores multisensory listening as a core concern by creating tactile sonic encounters in audio and object-based installation, multichannel sound system arrangements, sound design and performance. Her current research is focused on presenting electroacoustic vocal compositions underwater to expand sonic, physical, and material possibilities of sound and listening.
Sara has presented installations and performances nationally and internationally including Now or Never Festival, Melbourne (2023); Shepparton Art Museum (2022); RISING, Melbourne (2021); Melbourne Music Week (2021); Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía in Madrid, Spain (2020); CAMP Mountain Music Festival, France (2019); BLINDSIDE, Melbourne (2019); UNSW Gallery, Sydney (2019); I.S.E.A. Durban, South Africa (2018); Bus Projects (2017); and Dark MOFO, Hobart (2016). She was awarded the Freedman Foundation Travelling Scholarship (2017), and her work has since been supported by Creative Victoria, NAVA, The City of Melbourne, RMIT University and UNSW.
Sara was invited to be the artist in residence at Melbourne Electronic Sound Studio (2022), and has attended numerous artist residencies including Eco-Acoustics with Annea Lockwood / Leah Barclay at CAMP France (2019), and Sonic Mmabolela with Francisco Lopez / Barbara Ellison in South Africa (2018).
