Exhibitions Kim Anderson Weight of the World 15th June 2021 - 10th July 2021

Please contact the gallery if you would like to request a preview for this exhibition.

Kim Anderson’s work focuses on the widely-felt experience of grief and anxiety associated with climate change, and our complicated relationship with our planet. Her drawings depict solitary figures immersed in challenging yet wildly beautiful landscapes, and are based on photographs she takes of herself physically interacting with these rugged, isolated terrains.

Anderson completed a Bachelor of Fine Arts (Honours) at the University of Ballarat in 2003, and in 2007 she was awarded a scholarship to study a Master of Fine Art at the University of Dundee in Scotland. In 2010 she received an ArtStart Grant from the Australia Council, and she has created and curated projects supported by Arts Victoria, the City of Melbourne, and Regional Arts Victoria. Since then she has undertaken a number of residencies around the world including an Australia Council Studio Residency at the British School in Rome, Australia House in Echigo-Tsumari, Japan, Hospitalfield House in Arbroath, Scotland, Murray’s Cottage in Hill End, the University of Tasmania, Scotch Oakburn College in Launceston and The Art Vault in Mildura. In 2016 she undertook a three-month residency at DRAWinternational in Caylus, France, which was supported by the Ian Potter Cultural Trust, the Copyright Agency Creative Industries Career Fund, and Creative Partnerships Australia. Most recently Anderson was the recipient of a three-month Jon Schueler Scholarship Artist-in-Residence at the Sabhal Mòr Ostaig, National Centre for Gaelic Language, Culture and the Arts, Isle of Skye, Scotland (2019).
