Jemima Wyman - Wikipedia

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jemima Wyman (born 1977) is an Australian contemporary artist best known for her photo collage work. She has also worked with performance and video art.

Early life

Wyman was born in Mackay and grew up in Queensland.^[1]^[2] After earning a bachelor's degree from Queensland University of Technology, Wyman attended California Institute of the Arts, graduating with a master's degree in fine arts in 2007.^[2]^[3]

Career

Wyman first began doing performance art in the 1990s, with pieces inspired by feminist themes.^[2]

In 2004, Wyman came to Los Angeles, California after being awarded a studio residency by the Australian Government.^[4] Wyman has continued to work in Los Angeles, and is a lecturer in the art department of the University of California, Los Angeles.^[4] In Los Angeles, she is represented by the Koreatown-based Commonwealth and Council.^[4]^[5]

Style

Wyman is interested in protest and its relationship to art, particularly the idea of visual resistance,^[2]^[5]^[6] such as the use of patterns by "outside groups", and Guy Fawkes masks.^[7]

Wyman's collage pieces draw on photos taken at protests from across the world, drawing from inspiration such as the Arab Spring,^[8] the Occupy movement, Russia's Pussy Riot, and Mexico's Zapatista Army of National Liberation.^[6] She has around 15,000 photos in her archives, which she has been collecting since 2008.^[6]^[9]

Works

"Plume 20..." (2020) is a 15 ft x 17ft collage, which is made of photographs of smoke; she began collecting materials for the piece in 2018.^[4] The piece's full title is 24 pages long.^[4] It was included in "Air", an exhibition at the Queensland Gallery of Modern Art in 2022.^[10]

Exhibitions

In 2014, Wyman designed Pattern Bandits, an exhibition at the Queensland Gallery of Modern Art targeted towards children.^[1]

In March 2017, Wyman had her first solo exhibition at Sullivan+Strumpf in Sydney.^[7] She exhibited at the same gallery again in 2021, with "Fume",^[11] and in 2023, with "World Cloud".^[12] All of her exhibitions featured her photo collage pieces.^[7]^[11]^[12]

Later in 2017, Wyman's work was included as part of The National 2017 at Carriageworks in Sydney.^[6]

In 2019, a collaborative video piece between Wyman and Zach Blas, im here to learn so :)))))) (2017), was exhibited at Haus der Elektronischen Künste in Basel, Switzerland.^[13]

In early 2022, Wyman’s exhibition A Haze Descends was presented at Commonwealth and Council in Los Angeles.^[9]
