Artist bio
Inneke Taal’s sculptural practice utilises multi-media installation, sound and performative practices as a way of considering low-frequency embodied experiences, and spatial and linguistic relationships that reveal critical dialogues and connections.
Taal seeks to interrupt common modes of presentation and interrogates linear narratives and perceptions of time within her work, often engaging in reflexive techniques referencing site or acts of making to mirror an event or idea back upon itself. Taal uses a range of media including found objects, paper, moving image, text, sound, and the body to implicate artwork, artist, and viewer within the experience of an installation.
Inneke was an invited artist for the Acoustic Justice, Acoustic Care programme in 2026 for The Listening Biennial in Berlin and a runner-up in the inaugural FluxusMuseum Experimental Video Prize 2024 in Paros, Greece, for her work ‘The artist has no materials (16 acts of making)’. Taal has a Master of Fine Art from Piet Zwart Institute, Rotterdam, The Netherlands. She received the Anne and Gordan Samstag International Visual Art Scholarship 2023-24 to undertake postgraduate studies overseas. She has exhibited in solo, group, and collaborative shows and participated in residencies in Australian and Europe. She also has a Bachelor of Art Honours and a Bachelor in Visual Art from Adelaide Central School of Art, and a Bachelor in Linguistics and Drama from Deakin University in Melbourne.
