Press Release

STATION is proud to present IMPOSITIONS, the third solo exhibition by Dean Cross with the gallery.

At the centre of this exhibition lies a critical engagement with the imposition of whiteness—not only as colour, but as ideology, structure, and force. Cross examines the pervasive reach of whiteness, using the gallery itself as a site of critique.

IMPOSITIONS resists the reductive frameworks often placed upon First Nations artists. Rather than adhering to the “safe” confines of heritage representation, Cross embraces a practice rooted in material inquiry, formal experimentation, and a powerful engagement with contemporary First Nations realities.

About the Artist

Dean Cross is an artist primarily working across installation, sculpture and painting. Interested in the collisions of materials, ideas and histories, Cross is motivated by an understanding that his practice sits within a continuum of the oldest living culture on Earth – and enacts First Nations sovereignty through expanded contemporary art methodologies. His cross-disciplinary practice often confronts the legacies of modernism, rebalancing dominant cultural and social histories.
