Kate Mitchell, NEW12 Artist Interview, ACCA 2012

Kate Mitchell's practice is performance based, and explores the relationship of art and life through experiments involving manual labour, duration and everyday gestures. Often using humour and absurdity, Mitchell creates strange and wonderful situations that test the physical limits of the body and the mind.
