Fayen d’Evie (AU) is an artist, publisher, and access advocate, and a co-founder of Access Lab and Library (ALL). A lifetime of fluctuating vision has spurred creative research into blindness as a critical and imaginative position. Her projects are often collaborative, and resist spectatorship by inviting audiences into sensorial readings of artworks and texts.
She has exhibited nationally and internationally, including major projects for the MCA Sydney, SAMSTAG Museum of Art, Art Gallery of NSW, Buxton Contemporary, V.A.C. and the State Museum of Vadim Sidur, Moscow, TarraWarra Biennial, and the Ural Industrial Biennial, Russia. Fayen is the founder of independent imprint 3-ply, which approaches publishing as an experimental site for the creation, dispersal, and archiving of texts.
Fayen has provided creative provocations and pedagogical guidance to arts institutions nationally and internationally committed to more inclusive structures and more ambitious curation of disability-led practice.
