ABOUT THE ARTWORK

Storey was a fully-immersive installation, which saw the empty Counihan Gallery, Melbourne transformed into the lobby of a surrealist luxury hotel named, ‘The Anatol’, referencing a book of the same name by Arthur Schnitzler about the adventures of a careless womaniser (Schnitzler was also the author of Dream Story, the basis of Stanley Kubrick's film, Eyes Wide Shut) The gallerists wore costumes for the duration of the exhibition, with newly assigned identities; Nick Carraway and Norma Jean. Within the hypnotic space, the sound of an orchestra tuning its instruments looped, in amongst the background music—Why Do Birds Suddenly Appear' by The Carpenters—creating a space of never-ending expectation. Theatrical lighting by Luke hails was integrated into the space, highlighting every detail from the grand piano, Christmas tree, to the paintings and flowers; like a theatrical stage, including a roof lit in Yves Klein electric blue. Storey was a living capsule of the capitalist dream inspired by Grace's artist residency to the Antarctic, as winner of the Wallara Travelling Scholarship, Melbourne University's top graduate art prize.

Liberté Grace is a multiple award-winning artist and auteur filmmaker born in Australia, working in the mediums of video, installation and photography. Her works have been screened and exhibited within cultural institutions in Australia, France and Italy, including; Cannes Film Festival, Art Basel, Art Gallery of NSW, Times Square (NY), and Roslyn Oxley9 Gallery. She was also considered the youngest artist in the world to be sponsored to visit the Antarctic region, after she won the top graduate prize at Melbourne University. Grace's art practice centralises on the premise of identity as creation, through transformation via new consciousness perspectives. She believes that all realities are the outer fantasy of the inner world and the consciousness of each individual. Her works challenge belief systems by reconstructing them into fantasy worlds, distilling the wisdom beyond repetitive historical patterns of behaviour and translating them into surrealist constructs. Grace has received multiple awards in Australia and the US including the Sutton Commercial Galleries Award, the Chroma Australia Award (Gallery NSW), the Lloyd Reeds Youth Memorial Art Award Commendation, Brett Ratner Scholarship (NY) for film direction, as well as winning the top graduate prize at V.C.A, The Wallara Traveling Scholarship, and the Churchie National Emerging Art Prize. In 2014, Grace was shortlisted as part of the top 25 video artists worldwide by the international panel of the inaugural Arte Laguna Art Prize, held at the Arsenale in Venice, Italy. Grace was also the Editor of I AM FILM - a blog featuring interviews with the Masters of Film, where she interviewed cinematic personas such as; Koreeda Hirokazu, Ruben Östlund, Jackie Chan, Justin Chon, Kimberly Peirce, amongst many others. She is currently developing a 360 VR experience - WILD ONE - and a video portraiture series / feature film, RUBY.
