Jemima Wyman is a contemporary artist
who lives and works between Brisbane and Los Angeles. Wyman completed
her Bachelor of Fine Arts (in Visual Arts) with Honours at the
Queensland University of Technology. In 2007, she graduated with a
Master of Fine Arts from The California Institute of Arts in Los
Angeles; this study was made possible with the generous support of an
Anne and Gordon Samstag Scholarship.
In 2005 CamLab was formed,
a collaboration between Wyman and Anna Mayer. Their most recent
exhibition was held at Leslie Dick, an artist-run space in Los Angles;
this exhibition included a satellite performance at the Museum of
Contemporary Art.
Wyman's individual art practice incorporates
various mediums including installation, video, performance, photography
and painting. Her most recent artworks utilize these mediums to
specifically focus on visually-based resistance strategies employed
within contemporary 'irregular military', in an aim to explore the
formal and psychological potentiality of camouflage in reference to
collective identity.
Jemima is represented by Milani Gallery
and has exhibited throughout Australia and internationally. Past
exhibitions were held at the Australian Centre for the Moving Image
(Melbourne), Museum of Contemporary Art (Sydney), Plimsoll Gallery
(Hobart), Westbeth Gallery Kozuka (Japan), 40000 (Chicago) and Steve
Turner Contemporary Gallery (Los Angeles). Wyman's work will be
exhibited on Cockatoo Island as apart of the 17th Biennale of Sydney |
