Bio
Amie Anderson is an Australian artist based in Melbourne who seeks to inquire into social systems and systems of knowledge through various projects - often exploring and documenting with archival methods of collecting and utilizing video, performance art, 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.
Other recent work has reflected on the meaning of collaboration and inclusion in Arts and Disability studios, and within creative working relationships, while exploring the shifting roles of artist and art educator/facilitator.
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, and 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.
From 2013 -2016, Amie was a Co-director of the artist-run-initiative, The Food Court, an exhibition and Arts project space for emerging and established artists; with wider objectives of fostering artistic experimentation and interrogating the nature of social and public space.
