Liberté Grace is a multiple award-winning Australian filmmaker, artist
and CEO of Joyvolution Films.
She holds a Bachelor of Fine Art from the Victorian College of
the Arts (VCA), Melbourne, Australia with High distinction and was
awarded a Brett Ratner scholarship to attend the New York
Film Academy in New York, in recognition of her directorial vision
showcased in short film, 'The Perfect Boy', which brought together over
100 creative artists from around the world.
Grace's artistic career began early. At 21 years old she became
regarded as the youngest contemporary artist in the world ever sent to
the Antarctic for the development of her unique art practice, after
winning the coveted Wallara Traveling Scholarship in 2002, chosen out
of the top 25 artists at the VCA.
Following early break-out success, she exhibited an ambitious cinematic
installation with 22 mini-theaters,'track', incorporating sound,
lighting and production design, which was awarded the Irene Sutton
Award.
Following her residency in the Antarctic, she continued to break new
ground when she exhibited walk-in installation,'Storey', which saw the
front of the Counihan gallery, Melbourne, transformed into a surrealist
version of a noir-style luxury hotel as her critically praised response
to the dissonant relationship between capitalism and nature, desire and
expectation.
Known for her art installations, photography, film and mixed-media work,
Grace has been honored with multiple major awards including;
The Chroma Australia Award at the National Gallery of New South Wales,
The Lloyd Reeds Youth Memorial Art Award Commendation, The Churchie
National Art Prize and was also granted a residency at The Gunnery
Studios at Woolloomooloo, Australia, with other acclaimed international
artists by the NSW ministry for the arts in Australia.
