Luke George

About

A multidisciplinary artist creating work that spans performance, installation, craft, curation and rope. Luke was born in lutruwita/Tasmania and resides on Wurundjeri Country in Naarm/Melbourne. Through their work, Luke examines the dynamics of intimacy and collectivity to create ‘safe spaces’ that allow for care as well as risk. Luke’s artistic practice is informed by queer politics and spaces, whereby people are neither singular nor isolated; bodies of difference can intersect, practice mutual listening, take responsibility for themselves and one another. Luke’s works have persistently nudged ideas of ‘expanded choreographies’ involving co-performers and audiences into communities, queering and involving intercultural, intergenerational and interspecies relationships that recognise the ripples of power and interconnection in our intimate, social, and performative lives, reimagining the ties between humans and the environment and culture we occupy. Luke creates and performs work across Australia, Asia, Europe and North America, with notable presentations at the Venice Biennale, National Galleries of Victoria and Singapore, RISING, Dance Massive, Liveworks Festival, AsiaTOPA, Rencontres chorégraphiques de Seine-Saint-Denis, Time Based Art Festival and many more. Luke was a 2019 Australia Council for the Arts Fellowship recipient, 2020-2022 Artistic Associate of Temperance Hall, in 2022 was bequeathed a Chloe Monroe Fellowship, and is a studio artist at the Collingwood Yards.
