B.G. Osbourne
Dates: July 18th, 2019
B.G-Osborne (@b.g.orborne) is a gender variant settler of Scottish and British descent originally hosted on Treaty 20 territory/Southern Ontario, currently working and studying in Tio’tia:ke/Montreal. Osborne’s ongoing projects seek to address the complexities and revisionary potential of gender-variant representation/embodiment, and unpack/share their experiences with mental illness, neurodivergence and familial bonds. They place great importance in showcasing their work in artist run centres and non-commercial galleries across Turtle Island.
As a transmedia artist, Osbourne continuously attempts to creatively unpack and share their relationships with fluctuating gender embodiment, white settler privilege, queerness, and mental illness. Osbourne’s practice is physically flexible while conceptually grounded in openness about my experiences and identity. Through their work and everyday interactions, they aim to contribute to the growing public repertoire of gender variant narratives. Osbourne’s practice is concerned with using accessible mediums and materials.
