Twofold: Queensland - Nagoya Art Exchange

5 September 2005 - 17 September 2005

In the spirit of the universal and transcendent quality of art, Artworkers Alliance (Queensland) and Westbeth Gallery KOZUKA (Nagoya) have coordinated twofold, an art exchange program to exhibit the vital and rigorous solo exhibitions of video art by two of Queensland's most promising artists Jemima Wyman and Mathew Fletcher in Nagoya in 2005, in exchange for a reciprocal exhibition of the work of Japanese artists in Australia in 2006.

Artists

Jemima Wyman

Jemima Wyman works with installed video based performance, photography, painting and love performance. Her practice investigates the mechanism of fiction and reality, the physicality of the body, and particular relationships the body has with designated spaces and objects.

Wyman received a Bachelor of Visual Arts First Class Honours in 2001 and a Bachelor of Visual Arts in 1997 from the Queensland University of Technology. Reccent exhibitions include Primavera at the Museum of Contemporary Art (Sydney), Prime at the Queensland Art Gallery (Brisbane), Catastrophe Theory: Earthquake Girl and Other Stories at Bellas Milani Gallery (Brisbane), Jemima Wyman: Selected Works at Photo New York, Open Call at Los Angeles Municipal Art Gallery, and Minnie Peep at 18th Street Arts Centre (Los Angeles). Wyman was recently awarded the prestigious Anne and Gordon Samstag International Visual Arts Scholarship to undertake a Masters of Fine Arts Scholarship at the Califormia Institute of Art in Los Angeles. She is represented by Bellas Milani Gallery in Brisbane and Brown Bag Contemporary in San Francisco.

Mathew Fletcher

Mathew Fletcher works with a wide variety of media - computer games, software, objects, video and sound. His practice investigates structures of affectivity and agency, fantasies of history and ideology, and the phenomenological and cultural expnase of computer games.

Fletcher received a Bachelor of Visual Arts in 1997 from the Queensland University of Technology and is currently completing a Master of Arts (Research) through QUT's Creative Industries Research and Application Centre.

Recent exhibitions include Peer to Peer at the Victorian University Gallery (Melbourne), Highlight at Metro Arts (Brisbane), and Unit197 at Gamma Space (Melbourne). Fletcher was also responsible for curating Recode at The Farm (Brisbane). A forthcoming screening of Fletcher's work will be undertaken by the Australian Centre for the Moving Image (Melbourne) as part of Free Play: Next Wave Independent Game Developers Conference.
