BIO~
Marcia Farquhar is an artist working in performance, photography, video and object-making. Her practice revolves around the stories and interactions of her everyday life, particularly in relation to the meaning and histories of objects. Always telling or retelling stories, and engineering unexpected social interactions in which the distance between audience and performer is repeatedly breached, Farquhar probes the nature of biography and autobiography, and grapples with storytelling as a strategy that is forever renegotiating its relationship with truth. Her site-specific events have been staged and exhibited internationally in museums and galleries, as well as in lecture theatres, kitchen showrooms, pubs, parks and leisure centres.
