GLÓR Project Space is beyond delighted to announce Timothy Fairless in residency.

In late 2024 through to early 2025, Timothy Fairless will inhabit GLÓR Project Space in Nambour.

In the town that taught him piano and (by his own admission) how to run from homophobes, he’ll sift through personal video archives of life in 1990’s Nambour, interview contemporaries, and create new field recordings. Being a queer kid in a yet-to-be-connected world could be terrifying and thrilling at the same time. Codified languages could give access to safety and community - but what happens to these languages when the risk is removed? Through a lens of language, Timothy’s time at GLÓR will extend investigations into the intersection of queerness and environment that has underpinned much of his sound and video art for the last half decade.

Bio

Timothy Fairless is a music-maker and video artist from Meanjin (Brisbane) who spent his formative years on the Sunshine Coast. His work is ambient and atmospheric, made with heavily processed field recordings, acoustic instruments and synthesizers.

His catalogue features 3 albums and 7 EPs released on Berlin-based Unperceived Records, London-based Flaming Pines, independently, and in 2025 he will release an edition on L.A.-based Dragon’s Eye Recordings. These releases have been supported by performances at festivals and in theatres, incorporating immersive visual accompaniments. His most recent album, Rising Water, was made entirely with 4 glasses of water. It received radio play across Australia and on the BBC. A glowing review from Utility Fog called the album “powerful and engrossing”, while 4ZZZ FM’s Chris Cobcroft concluded the album is “a hyper-real evocation of the Australian landscape”.

Timothy has produced music and sound for film, television and theatre, including scores for SBS/NITV, works and performances featured at the Queensland Art Gallery & Gallery of Modern Art, the Art Gallery of South Australia, and the Seymour Centre in Sydney, and scores for independent films. His videos and installations have been exhibited in Australia and Thailand, and he has performed across Australia and Hong Kong. Not only a prolific solo artist, but Timothy has also collaborated with artists from Australia, Hong Kong and Germany as a co-writer, producer and remix artist.

Immersive and expansive, Timothy’s sound and video explores diverse themes, from climate change to his queer identity and deep investigations of our relationships with technology and each other.
