SUSPENDED MOMENT:
THE KATTHY CAVALIERE FELLOWSHIP

Suspended Moment: The Katthy Cavaliere Fellowship is a unique suite of fellowships that will support female-identifying Australian artists working at the nexus of performance and installation. Named after the Italian born Australian artist Katthy Cavaliere (1972-2012), the fellowship is made possible with funds from the Estate of Katthy Cavaliere in partnership with Carriageworks, the Australian Centre for Contemporary Art (ACCA) and the Museum of Old and New Art (Mona) to present these ambitious new commissions.

Suspended Moment: The Katthy Cavaliere Fellowship comprises three grants of $100,000 awarded to three female artists or collectives for the purpose of realising an ambitious new work. The three artists will be chosen by a selection panel, comprised of the presenting institutions’ leadership and curatorial teams. In 2020 Suspended Moment will be a cross-institutional presentation with each partnering institution presenting one of the three commissions.
