Video artist Heath Franco has won the $30,000 Nsw Visual Arts Fellowship for his multi-channel video installation, The Rainbow Lands.
The Ranibow lands is one of 12 works by emerging visual artists featured in a new exhibition at Artspace, Woolloomooloo.
Franco was born in Cooma and currently lives in North Parramatta.
His practice largely takes the form of video, although the process of production and exhibition of his works are also concerned with video, photography, performance, sound, music, digital media, video special effects and installation.
He creates video works of short to medium duration in which he performs various absurdist-style costumed roles in green-screened landscapes.
Arts Nsw executive director Mary Darwell, who presented the fellowship at the exhibition.s launch at Artspace last night, said Mr Franco would undertake a mentorship with music-video creator Joel Kefali during which he would research, create and perform new works in the Us and deliver workshops...

Exclusive: Organisers in talks with studios and indie distributors for October film event.
London’s Battersea Power Station is to stage a new four-day film festival this October.
The four-day event, called Zookastar, will run from October 31 to November 3 at the iconic former power station on the Thames.
According to organisers, the event will host around 20-25 English-language, “mainstream” completed features - including previews of upcoming blockbusters, premieres, a red-carpet, sneak preview footage, first-look trailers, appearances by filmmakers and cast, masterclasses, Q&A sessions, memorabilia and autograph signings.
The power station will house four screens, including a 500-seat 3D-enabled cinema. Organisers are currently in discussion with studios and independent distributors over content. They are also in talks with sponsors.
The half-term timed event will be based around seven zones: action and adventure, classic horror, movie production, costumes and props, the toys and robots zone, Bollywood and comics and pop culture.
