If you're an artist, what kind of art do you make?: Conceptual, Event, Installation, Performance, Photography, Video

I am...: Born in the city of Odessa, in the Soviet Ukraine, I came to Melbourne, Australia with my family in 1992, as a 15 year old. In Ukraine, I studied at Odessa Childrens Art School and completed a diploma of fine arts. In Melbourne, 1999 I completed my BA (Honours) in Fashion at Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology and moved to Europe to travel and work in the fashion industry. After studying in a Postgrad course in Fashion, at Central St Martins College of Art and Design, London, I decided to come back to fine arts. Back in Melbourne, in 2007, I graduated form my second degree, BFA Painting, Victorian College of the Arts, with numerous awards, one of which a prestigious Freedman Traveling Scholarship for Emerging Artists. In 2008, I am traveling to USA and Europe, participating in various projects and residencies.

About my artwork: My practice can be described as a hybrid of diverse disciplines and mediums that range from visual art performances and actions to site-specific installations and video works. I employ each medium as a tool for an expression of a particular idea or project, whilst using my body and its immediate surroundings, conditions and state of being, as material.

What exhibitions are good at the moment?: Ollafur Elliason, MOMA, PS1, NYC
Rebecca Horn, Sean Kelly, NYC

At 10:35am on 13th May 2008, Sorg said…: yeah well, Ferran called it "hard art". Some of this appeals to me for some r3ason, some N0t. You've had a unique perspective of the world–keep using it in your work.

At 9:58am on 13th May 2008, Ferran SERRA FERRER said…: Too much hard art for me... but I must recognise that is close to me.
