Jake Sun

Jake Sun

Jake Sun is the current name of a carbon-based bipedal process who often plays the roles of man, artist, music journalist, poet, and House Conpiracy board member, among others, habitually confusing them all into one conflated identity.

Sun first came to House Conspiracy for an artist residency in February 2018, returned to develop an International exchange project as Creative Director in Residence from March - April 2019, and then joined the board a few months later. This just goes to show that the creative spirit once fed will keep coming back.

Crisia Constantine

Crisia Constantine is a Brisbane-based artist, curator, writer and researcher.

In her work, she advances the artist as facilitator and articulates her artistic practice as facilitation of creative participation. She believes in devising new contexts for exploration and investigation of creative practices and a playful, safe environment where artists can meet, share, engage, and interact with one another. Her work is informed by psychoanalytical theory, feminism and queer theory.
