Last Adventure: participating artists

Last Adventure is a component of Winter Wonderland, and is curated by emerging curators in Zanny Begg's Curating: Social Space class at UNSW | Art & Design.

Timothy Dwyer

Timothy Dwyer is a musician, video artist and sound designer living in Sydney. Having performed extensively under the nonsense moniker Horse Macgyver, his works and performances continue to evolve as an alchemical wash of digital distortions, improvisations, and internet psychosis. Since graduating with Honours from the ANU school of art in 2008 he has directed, curated, performed and exhibited in a myriad of different multimedia events. This includes touring cable access luminary John Kilduff (USA) of 'Let's Paint T.V.' fame and on Australian Shores in 2009. He continues to perform and exhibit throughout the country and is an active member of the video art collective Zonk Vision. Most recently he has returned from touring Java with the notorious experimental Indonesian noise outfit, Senyawa.

Zachariah Fenn

Zachariah Fenn is an emerging artist living and working in Sydney. He is currently undertaking his Honours year at UNSW Art & Design, studying a BFA majoring in Sculpture, Performance and Installation Art. Zachariah has curated and exhibited in many Sydney galleries such as Kudos Gallery, Gaffa Gallery and Art House Hotel, and also in Toowoomba with artist comrade Emilio Cresciani. Zachariah's work often deals with the human figure and it’s navigation through the natural environment. His practice is organic and spontaneous, responding to and building on the rich culture and history of a site. His practice involves documented performance works, site-specific installations and landscape interventions. Life, death, the spiritual, light and darkness, social isolation, heaven, hell, eternity – his Christian faith informs much of his conceptual and artistic approach.

Hana Hoogedeure

Hana's work is concerned with the sculptural qualities of simple forms of shelter and the emotional response of our bodies within public and private realms. Centered upon an understanding of space, architecture and the nature of object relations, she constructs simple forms of anti-architecture such as cubby houses, makeshift tents, pillow forts and childlike shrines. Her work examines the emotive connections tied to these creations, orientated around notions of domestic ritual, personal mythologies and everyday magic.

Jack Mannix

Jack Mannix is a Sydney-based multi-disciplinary artist, working across photography, music, writing, and live performance. In 2014, Jack had a major solo exhibition at CCP entitled Precious Metals; as well as a book of the same name released, alongside his 2012 zine, Cocksucker Bruise. Jack has an extensive musical history, having played in a range of Sydney and Melbourne-based musical groups including Kiosk, Hysterical Pregnancy, Circle Pit and Drown Under.

Giselle Stanborough

Giselle Stanborough is an emerging intermedia artist whose practice often addresses online user generated media and the way in which such technologies encourage us to identify and perform notions of self. She graduated from COFA in 2010 with the University Medal and since then has exhibited in galleries around NSW and in Melbourne. Her work has been shown online in The Washington Post’s “Pictures of The Day” and in Hennessy Youngman’s “Art Thoughtz.”
