David Manley Lives and works in Sydney, Australia. Manley studied at the College of Fine Arts UNSW, majoring in Photomedia and graduating with Honours in 2011. He received special mention for his work in the 2011 Bowness Photography Prize and was also a recipient of the Giclee Airport North Gallery Award and Artist Profile Magazine Award in 2010. Manley was also shortlisted for Hijacked 3 Australia UK in 2011. Group exhibitions include the Monash Gallery of Art, Melbourne, Blender Gallery, Sydney and Perspektiva at COFA Space/UNSW. Manley was commissioned by the St Vincent's Hospital Sydney executive to develop a photographic archive of the old Caritas Psychiatric Hospital in Darlinghurst, prior to its decommission in 2010. The work is now part of the hospital’s private collection. Drawn to the latent psychology of space, Manley’s photographic and installation work dwells in the indifferent architectures and vacant spectacles of urban industry, seeking out the leftover signs of forgotten utopias.
