Border Crossings was a series of durational performances by Kiera Brew Kurec that engaged with ideas around cultural heritage and Diaspora.
Each day, the artist presented a new durational work, testing endurance, pain, and stamina. From repetitively washing white sheets to being bathed in beetroot juice, the works recycled iconic social and cultural archetypes, creating emotional exchanges between the audience and the artist.
Kiera Brew Kurec graduated from the Victorian College of the Arts with a BFA Painting in 2007 and graduated with first class Honours in 2010. Kiera has exhibited and performed in Melbourne, Brisbane, Newcastle, Berlin, and New York.
