Craig Walsh is one of Australia’s most prominent artists, recognised internationally for his artwork that experiments with cutting edge digital technologies, site-specific projects and the exploration of alternative contexts for contemporary art. He was born in Orange, NSW in 1966, and was recently based in Brisbane, Queensland. His work has been shown in a number of national and international exhibitions, including the Jakarta Biennale XIII, Indonesia, 01SJ Biennal San Jose, California; Museum of Contemporary Art, Sydney; Koganecho Bazaar, Japan and DRIFT 08, London.
Walsh has been awarded several national and international residencies and commissions, of which many are located in Queensland. In 2007 he won the People’s Choice award at the Nuit Blanche Festival in Toronto. He holds a Bachelor of Arts degree in Fine Art and is currently Adjunct Professor at Griffith University.
Walsh will present a selection of site responsive public interventions developed over the artist’s career and overview his current project Craig Walsh: Digital Odyssey, a two-year touring project presented by the Museum of Contemporary Art. Currently in Hobart as part of Digital Odyssey for Ten Days on the Island festival, Walsh will discuss the evolution of the Hobart project in context to the role temporal public art can play in expanding/altering perceptions of environment.
