Alexandra Winters is studying her final year of a Bachelor of Fine Art at Queensland College of Art. Majoring in Interdisciplinary Sculpture and specializing in Painting and Art Theory, her practices encompass a wide range of ideas and mediums. Her most recent sculpture installations use artificial lighting to create an experience awakening the viewer to their own physicality and hence instilling a sense of purpose.

Her presentation at PechaKucha details the behind the scenes process of organizing and curating a one night only artist exhibition. Herself and a group of fellow students from the Queensland College of Art with the funding of an Arts Queensland Career Development Grant, use the back end of one of the only Queenslander homes left on Brunswick Street in New Farm as their fuel for thought and temporary exhibition space. The one night only art event united 14 different artists working with video, performance, sound, printmaking, installation, sculpture, painting and jewellery. The night provided the audience with a kaleidoscope of Brisbane artists responding to their city’s state of flux and consequent loss of history, with the demolition date set for the very house their art was trying to preserve.
