Marie Shannon (born 1960) is a New Zealand artist and educator who makes photography, video and drawing.

Background and education[]

Shannon was born in Nelson in 1960. She went to the University of Auckland Elam School of Fine Arts and graduated in 1982 with a major in photography.[1]

Shannon is based in Auckland, New Zealand.[2]

Career[]

Shannon's art is often centred around her domestic interiors and the creative process between her and other artists.[3][4] Shannon represented New Zealand at Australia's Asia-Pacific Triennale in 1996, and was exhibited in the Australian Centre for Photography in Sydney. Then in 1998 her work was at New Plymouth's Govett-Brewster and Melbourne's ACCA.[5]

Shannon's partner was artist Julian Dashper who died in 2009. She has made cataloguing his art works into art which are text-based videos.[1][6] An example is the The Aachen Faxes, Christchurch remix at the Christchurch Art Gallery.[7] In a review of a retrospective of Shannon's work the comment is made that she was overshadowed by her partner Dashper.[8]

As an educator she works at Unitec, Auckland.[1][9]
