Archie Barry is an artist who works with performance, video, sculpture, and music composition and production. Born in 1990 and raised on the coastal regions of the Eora Nation/Sydney, their work is autobiographical, somatic, and process-led. They create self-portraiture that troubles dominant notions of personhood as stable, legible, and sequential. Their practice takes shape through a genealogy of personas, devised from their experiences of mortality, power, and transgender embodiment. Barry’s work has been presented at leading Australian institutions including the National Gallery of Victoria, the Australian Centre for Contemporary Art, the Museum of Contemporary Art, the Monash University Museum of Art, the Heide Museum of Modern Art, and Contemporary Art Tasmania, amongst other spaces. They have undertaken a range of artist residencies including the FD13 Residency for the Arts in Minneapolis, USA; Visiting Artist Scholar at Parsons and The New School (School for Art, Media, and Technology), New York, USA; and Artist in Residence at Phasmid Studios, Berlin, Germany.
