Roy Ananda

Roy Ananda is a South Australian artist, writer and educator whose objects, drawings, installations, and videos variously celebrate pop-culture, play, process and the very act of making. Most recently, Ananda presented a major new work in Divided Worlds, the 2018 Adelaide Biennial of Australian Art at the Art Gallery of South Australia, inspired by his lifelong passion for the fantasy role-playing game Dungeons & Dragons.

Matthew Bradley

Matthew Bradley's sculptural and performative works are the result of an experimental and original approach to thinking and making. Qualities of art relevant to his practice include those that are akin to the work of the cosmologist, the physicist and the engineer. He is known for a restrained and methodical approach to materials and form, and philosophically robust engagements with notions as diverse as risk, delinquency, the evolution of conciousness, the origins of the universe and the fatal attraction of the horizon. His practice explores the complicated relationship of these notions to the intellectual advancement of society and the psychic renewal of the individual citizen.

Louise Haselton

Louise Haselton completed a Bachelor of Visual Arts (Sculpture) at The University of South Australia, 1991 and a Masters of Art (by Research) at RMIT University, Melbourne in 2002. In 2005 she undertook a Helpmann Academy Residency at Sanskriti Kendra, Delhi, India. Haselton’s sculptural artwork has recently been exhibited in "Do It Adelaide" at the Samstag Museum of Art, Adelaide, "Magic Object : Adelaide Biennial of Australian Art", at The Art Gallery of SA and "Fabrik" at the Ian Potter Museum and Sutton Gallery Project Space, Melbourne. Haselton has held major solo exhibitions at The Contemporary Art Centre of SA and The Australian Experimental Art Foundation, Adelaide.

Heidi Kenyon

By exploring nuances in ordinary things Heidi Kenyon’s sculpture and installation practice seeks to encourage viewers to find meaning and magic in everyday spaces, objects and rituals. Kenyon has received a number of commendations for her work including the Qantas Foundation Encouragement of Australian Contemporary Art Award (2012), the MF & MH Joyner Scholarship in Fine Arts (2012), the Ruth Tuck Scholarship (2010), and the Constance Gordon-Johnson Sculpture and Installation Prize (2008).

Kate Power

Kate Power is sculpture and installation artist based in Adelaide. Her practice embraces video, performance, textiles, sculpture and installation to investigate coexistence and enforced social constructions that can complicate how people relate to one another. Power has been awarded the Constance Gordon-Johnson Sculpture and Installation Prize. She has undertaken residencies at SIM in Iceland, NARS Foundation in New York and at the British School in Rome.
