Bio
Amie Anderson is a Melbourne/Naarm based artist who seeks to inquire into social systems and dominant systems of knowledge and communication, through various projects which utilise archival methods of collecting, video, performance, photography and installation.
Her work recurrently displays a strong interest in breaking down social barriers through art - creating opportunities for exchange. The body, particularly her own, often becomes a natural extension of her work - a conduit through which actions and ideas flow, touching on the nature of our corporeal existence and inter-human relations.
Amie completed a Bachelor of Fine Arts (Honours) in Sculpture and Spatial Practice at The Victorian College of the Arts, in 2012. Since graduating she has had two solo exhibitions, been involved in Public Art projects, undertaken an artist in residency program in Germany, while exhibiting in various group shows and collaborating with divergent artists and communities, on artistic and socially engaged projects. Amie’s work has been written about in various publications, including a chapter in The Routledge Companion to Media and Activism, 2018, ‘Small ‘p’ politics where ethics and politics meet in Contemporary Art’, by Maria Miranda and Norie Neumark, and ‘Ways of Following: Art, materiality and collaboration’, by Katve-Kaisa Kontturi also in 2018.
From 2013 -2016, Amie was a co-director of the artist-run-initiative, The Food Court, which aimed to foster artistic experimentation and interrogate the nature of social and public space.
