Australian artist Justene Williams constructs elaborate sets and costumes that she performs on and in before they are destroyed. The documentation of these actions is then exhibited in the gallery space, producing a collision of performance, installation, photography, video and sound.

Nikhil Chopra is a Mumbai-based artist who devises fictional characters inspired by India’s colonial history and the artist’s personal history. Chopra inhabits these characters in improvised performances that last up to three days, an experience which provides inspiration for his large-scale drawings and installations.

Marking the Australia-India Year of Friendship 2012, Chopra and Williams will take part

in the Australia India Exchange Program, bringing Chopra to Carriageworks and sending

Williams to India to develop and present new work.
