MAVA SubstationBehind the Scenes + Residency Details Coming Soon
Anastasia Booth teases arts erotic potential as fragmented or flawed substitute. By interleaving the languages of Freudian fetishism, kink, dark fantasy, feminism, history and personal anecdote, she ponders, can the artist as an agentive and deviant subject fight off gendered limitations and her own sexual failures. The dialogues she dabbles in can be problematic and contradictory, where no real answer is forthcoming. Leather, glass, lustrous metals, sex toys, latex, timber, hair and lube inspire minimalist forms that build perplexing relationships to the body.
Anastasia works in Brisbane, Australia. She refined her craft at the Queensland University of Technology, completing her Practice-led Honours and Doctoral study. Her work has been exhibited nationally, including projects at The Perth Institute of Contemporary Arts, Institute of Modern Art, Museum of Contemporary Art, University of Queensland Museum, Griffith University Art Museum, Milani Gallery CARPARK, The Australian Experimental Art Foundation and was artist in residence at Outer Space.
