Kym Maxwell
Visual Artist
Kym Maxwell is an artist, curator, writer and teacher whose work within and across these distinct fields concerns notions of education and social spaces in which she explores risk adversity, sculptural paradigms and relational aesthetics. Specifically, Maxwell’s work concerns the types of interpersonal relationships that are generated by new situations such as, socially engaged and video making activities and curating. Put more simply, Maxwell is concerned with the intersection between social relations, sculpture and installation (objects and environments) that participants may co-learn from. As such the physical layout of a workshop, playground and street are rich texts’ Maxwell mines for invisible elements, like informational flows and interpersonal dynamics or hierarchies.
