ARTIST PROFILES For further information and exhibition histories, please see http://qag.qld.gov.au//21st_Century/artists Adel ABDESSEMED b.1971 Algeria Lives and works in Paris, France Adel Abdessemed is known for his unexpected and sometimes controversial art practice. His works consider a wide range of personal and political themes often addressing social taboos and presenting them as raw and uncomfortable truths. Abdessemed is also known for works that reflect on the beauty and fragility of life and his visual language is at once poetic and provocative. AH XIAN b.1960 China/Australia Lives and works in Australia Ah Xian began casting porcelain in the early 1990s at Sydney College of the Arts. In 1996, he returned to China and travelled to Jingdezhen — famous for its kilns which, for centuries, produced fine porcelain objects and vessels for the Chinese imperial courts — to learn traditional techniques. An Australia Council grant allowed him to visit Jingdezhen again in 1998, where he worked for nine months with master potters and learnt the process of making porcelain busts, including moulding them from life and decorating, glazing and firing them. Ah Xian's subsequent move to working in cloisonné, lacquer and jade allowed him to further explore and reinterpret longstanding Chinese artistic traditions. AI Weiwei b.1957 China Lives and works in Beijing, China After a brief involvement in the early Chinese avant-garde, Ai Weiwei moved to New York in 1981 and immersed himself in modern and contemporary art. Influenced by artists such as Marcel Duchamp, he began to critically address artistic traditions and conventions. Since returning to Beijing in the mid 1990s, he has regularly addressed the economy of art and historical objects in China with his iconoclastic sculptures, performances, photographs and installations. Tony ALBERT b.1981 Australia (Girramay people) Lives and works in Brisbane, Australia Tony Albert's practice reveals his interest in mass-produced products from Australia's history and what these say about dominant beliefs. By collaging, sculpting and transforming images, brands and texts, Albert succinctly reframes modern Indigenous Australian history through its representations in 'kitsch' material culture. His work Sorry 2008 was inspired by former prime minister Kevin Rudd's formal apology to Indigenous Australians on 13 February 2008. On this day, Australia witnessed an overtly optimistic displays of unity and emotion and, in the eyes of many, grew up.
