JUSTENE WILLIAMS
Be mesmerised by a kaleidoscopic video performance by renowned Australian artist, Justene Williams, who sets the screen ablaze with her signature bold style and elaborate upcycled costumery. Dancers skate through a technicolour room wearing handmade robes, inspired by the colour wheel of master Johannes Itten fame – a teacher expelled for tutoring students in esoteric maztazan breathing exercises. Experience psychedelic colour in motion with this prismatic whirlpool of light and breath.
Born 1970, Sydney, New South Wales. Lives and works Brisbane, Queensland. Justene Williams is a key figure of the Australian art scene of the 1990s, working across different media including photography, video, performance, installation and sound. Her early work revolved around photography and utilised the ad hoc nature of disposable cameras and one-hour printing labs. The locations for these early photographic projects were sites of public recreation such as shopping centres, car shows and strip clubs. In recent work she has constructed elaborate sets and costumes made from collaged paper and a variety of waste or refuse materials.
