SUSAN JACOBS
b. 1977 Sydney/Gadagal Land, Australia. Lives and works London, UK.
Susan Jacobs works between sculpture, site-specific installation, video, and drawing, adopting poetic narratives to examine the intersections of matter, space, and language.
Her process is driven by the instinct to test things for their propensity for resistance or yield - where even the most stubborn material can undergo delicate acts of transfiguration. She engages with the latent potential of materials and their context, subtly altering spaces to challenge habitual expectations and encourage reflection on the existential relationship humans have with our surroundings.
Jacobs has exhibited widely in Australia and internationally, including at the 32nd São Paulo Bienal, NEW10 at the Australian Centre for Contemporary Art, Melbourne Now, The National Gallery of Victoria, the 7th Asia Pacific Triennial, QAGOMA, and the 12th Adelaide Biennale of Australian Art.
