Portal- a video installation by Akfortysevs

 Anna Kennedy, AKA Akfortysevs, has been exhibiting in Berlin and Melbourne since 2016. Her recent work has been shown at George Paton, Brightspace, Assembly Point and MPavillion.  She is a recipient of the RMIT creative funding award, is a graduate of VCA and is currently pursuing her Masters of Fine Art at RMIT.

Kennedy’s practice concentrates on new media and installation, integrating material/space theory with elements of time, space, technology. Her practice explores the relation between the virtual and the real from a female perspective, focusing on the body in an increasingly technological world. She applies theories of film and digital culture to explore the object/subject dynamic in virtual space and the role of technology in social change. 

 Joining Akfortysevs on opening night are bands Jules Sheldon’s Concrete Cowboys and Nathan Detroit! Doors at 7pm
