Brie Trenerry is a local interdisciplinary artist, filmmaker, curator and educator with a focus on the moving image and new media who has exhibited extensively both in Australia and internationally. She has worked as the curator of the video space at MARS Gallery since its opening in 2014. Trenerry is completing her PhD, which explores altered states of consciousness and collaboration as generative strategies for an expanded cinema.
Trenerry‘s recent solo exhibition BABBLE ON at MARS Gallery, Melbourne, explored the profound social, cultural and political implications of artificial intelligence (AI) interventions in the mainstream media. She has worked as a lecturer in video, new media and fashion film at Photography Studies College (PSC), Victorian College of the Arts (VCA) and the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology (RMIT).
Brie has been the recipient of residencies at the Australian Experimental Art Foundation [AEAF] in Adelaide 2015, the Australian Archaeological Institute at Athens (AAIA) Contemporary Creative Residency via the University of Sydney 2018 and KdMoFA (Kuandu Museum of Fine Art), Taiwan National University of the Arts, [TNUA] RMIT:ART:INTERSECT 2019.
