Samuel Beilby

Samuel Beilby is a contemporary artist, arts worker and researcher based in Boorloo (Perth, Western Australia). His practice and research interests address processes of extraction, noise, materialism and labour. Through historical/theoretical research, speculative narratives, and experimentation with new media tools, his projects often operate to unearth nuanced tensions between late-capitalist endeavours and ecological systems. Lately, Samuel has been studying and developing work surrounding processes of industrial extractivism through site-specific fieldwork practice. He currently occupies a committee member role at Cool Change Contemporary (an artist-run organisation in Boorloo) a sessional teaching position at the University of Western Australia’s School of Design’ Fine Art Department and is a Gallery Associate at Sweet Pea Arts. Samuel has participated in exhibitions, residencies, artist talks, academic conferences and performances in Taiwan, Japan, France, Singapore, Greece, South Korea, the USA and Australia. He is also a part of the Boorloo-based experimental performance art collective mg.
