John Dunkley-Smith
Australia Council for the Arts Residency
2000
John Dunkley-Smith is an Australian photographer, film maker, painter, and installation artist. Since the late 1970s, he has made an enduring foundational contribution to analogue and digital, time-based, and venue-specific installation practice in Australia. Initially trained as a painter, John’s work with film and multiple slide projection installations date from the mid-1970s when he was living in London. His installations are characterized by duplicate and triplicate screens and sequences of images of time-based works that utilize procedural methods addressing the relation of pattern to indeterminacy, aspects of representation, and audience desire.
John's films, installations and/or paintings have been exhibited throughout Australia, in the UK and USA and in Europe, Japan and New Zealand at: Roslyn Oxley9 Gallery, Sydney (1988); Institute of ModernArt, Brisbane (1980, 1981, 1985, 1989); The Anne & Gordon Samstag Museum of Art, Adelaide (1993); The Ian Potter Museum of Art, Melbourne (2001); Museum of Contemporary Art, Sydney (2002); Heide Museum of Modern Art, Melbourne (2009); Monash University Museum of Art, Melbourne (2005, 2011).
