GIRRLSOUND presents Michelle Xen : Generous Fields | Objects in the Dark
(25th Nov, 3:00pm)

This work by Michelle Xen is part of a new series of video, performance and sound, in which sonic-visual fields are created and transformed over time. Using light, video, live vocals and breath, a series of video monochromes evolve over the course of the performance from the movements and sounds in the room.

Michelle Xen is a Brisbane-based installation and video artist and electronic musician. She is a graduate of the Queensland College of Art and was awarded a Masters of Art in Research in interdisciplinary practice at QUT. Michelle’s work uses performance video, installation, costume and painting to draw comparisons between the sometimes oppositional worlds of contemporary art practice and pop music. Michelle has exhibited and performed extensively throughout Australia and Japan.

Girrlsound promotes and represents contemporary women in sound and their work/ thinking/ research. Girrlsound is a resource space for women sound artists, of other artist’s works, sound theory, tools and opportunities for exhibitions and collaborations. Girrlsound is an organisation for arranging and presenting projects and sound works.
