Please welcome artist Deborah Kelly to our discussion!


Deborah Kelly (AU)  has been making socially engaged artwork since  
1983. Collaborative projects include the ongoing artists gang boat- 
people.org, and the prize-winning
public artwork series, “Hey, hetero!”, with Tina Fiveash.

She has given lectures and workshops around Australia and in Berlin,  
Amsterdam, San Francisco, Los Angeles and Ottawa. She was invited by  
Martha Rosler to a
political artists' residency in 2002, and produced a large  
collaborative artwork with that crew for Utopia Station in the 2003  
Venice Biennale. Her current project, Beware of the God, was  
commissioned by the
Museum of Contemporary Art, Sydney. It is a cross-media artwork  
considering the rise of religiosity in public life; documented and  
extended at
