Julian Dashper 1960 – 2009
Julian Dashper’s The Warriors, 1998
Prolific NZ artist Julian Dashper died today after a long period of illness.
Dashper, a champion of ideas-based art-making, undercut much of the seriousness of 60’s conceptual practice with humour and oblique pop culture references. His work often dealt with ideas of what it means to be an artist, specifically in terms of how art ‘from abroad’ is reflected and reproduced within a small, remote country like NZ .
