Archie Barry | Art Forums Artist Talk

Please join us for an Art Forums artist talk with Archie Barry, Wed, Sep 10, in Reliance Theatre 3:30pm PST.

Archie Barry is a visual artist based in Melbourne, Australia, who works primarily with video, performance, and music composition. They are drawn to time-based mediums to induce moments of affective intensity, drawing from lived experiences of loss, near death, and a politics of trans liberation. Attuned to histories of knowledge making and connection that do not easily map onto the “seen” or the rational, Barry’s practice questions dominant representations of selfhood as singular, stable, legible, and sequential. Their works have been exhibited widely in Australia, including at The Australian Centre for Contemporary Art, Heide Museum of Modern Art, Samstag Museum of Art, The National Gallery of Victoria, Museum of Contemporary Art, Contemporary Art Tasmania and Artspace, amongst other spaces.

This talk is presented by the Audain Faculty of Art at Emily Carr University of Art + Design, hosted by FRMS: 300: Art Forums Course. The event is also in partnership with the Western Front and coincides with Barry's exhibition Try Keeping an Open Channel.

Livestreaming will be available on zoom:
