Sue Beyer

Artist Statement

Sue Beyer is an interdisciplinary artist whose practice explores autotheory, post humanism and instruction-based art. Working across painting, electronics, video, and new media, she creates objects and installations that explore the intersection of human experience and technology through an intermedial lens. Recent works utilize AI hallucinations to create autofictions that examine speculative identities.

Sue earned her MFA from the University of Melbourne in 2019, has exhibited internationally, and received support through cultural agencies such as Foundation for Contemporary Arts in the USA, Creative Australia, Creative Victoria, University of Melbourne and the Sidney Myer Fund & The Myer Foundation.

She has been a finalist in multiple prizes, was the winner of the Emerging artist category in the Stanthorpe Art Prize (2014) and awarded the National Gallery of Victoria Women’s Association Award (2018) for work created as part of her MFA. Her work is part of numerous corporate and public collections including the permanent collection of The Rothko Museum in Latvia, and Artbank, an Australian Government collection, who purchased her work in 2019.

From 2022 to 2024 Sue was a sessional lecturer at RMIT University in Melbourne for the School of Design and has presented papers at various academic conferences. Sue is currently working towards a two-person exhibition at the University of Wyoming Visual Arts Gallery in Laramie that opens in late January 2026, and a solo exhibition at Gallerysmith, Melbourne in September. She is represented by Gallerysmith in Australia and is based in New York.
