Benjamin Sebastian

Benjamin Sebastian (b. Cairns*, Queensland, Australia) is a trans-disciplinary artist-curator based in London, whose practice spans curating, installation, writing, image making, sculpture, moving image, new media and performance. They received their BA: Fine Art from the University of Lincoln (UK) and Post Graduate Diploma: Gender, Sexuality & Culture from University of London (UK). Their practice might be imagined as a constellation of mirrors; reflecting aspects of the body, time & spaces they inhabit - or - as world-making experiments; manifested through processes of bricolage and queerness - navigated by erotic and esoteric methodologies. Sebastian understands their artistic work as an anarcho-queer technology in the aid of trans*, decolonial & trans-humanist endeavour - driven by their neuro-divergent and non-binary embodiment. They are a frequent collaborator of entities, individuals and institutions - as well as being co-founding director of ] performance s p a c e [ and co-founding co-director of VSSL Studio. Sebastian and their affiliated projects are regularly funded by Arts Council England, as well as various other charities and local authorities - with their artworks held in public and private collections. From assemblage to artificial intelligence, the medium truly is the message in the work of Benjamin Sebastian. For sales, commissions, queries and invitations please contact the artist directly. *The Gimuy Walubara Yidinji and the Yirrganydji peoples are the traditional custodians of Cairns and surrounding district. Gimuy is the traditional place name for the area Cairns City now occupies. Sebastian wishes to pay respect to the Gimuy Walubara Yidinji and Yirrganydji Elders, both past and present, and extend that respect to all Indigenous Australians.
