About the Artist

Contemporary Installation, utilising a range of media: sound, projections, constructions etc. Conceptual and political in intent.
curators statement on Empty room with steps and grid, S/he Feminist Trajectories 1993
"Bodies looking at art, become bodies negotiating architectural space. rather than expect particular bodies, he, Ross Barber politicizes such an expectation. Rather than ordering bodies, he creates disorder for them to negotiate.Rather than provide solid ground, he leads us to question who makes the ground on which we situate ourselves on, why and for whom."
