Brendan Fan


Artist's Statement

My work consists of discreet gestures, actions and interventions. Although the work is grounded in performance art, the actions are not intended for live audiences. Instead, viewers must reconstruct the actions through a variety of documentation including photographs, written documentation, legal documents, correspondence, spreadsheets and cheques.

My work is playful, utilising absurdity, futility and failure to investigate the nature of the art object and the contexts in which it exists.
