John Conomos

Biography

John Conomos is a media artist, critic, and theorist who extensively exhibits both locally and internationally. His art practice cuts across a variety of art forms - video, new media, installation, performance and radiophonic art - and deals with autobiography, identity, memory, post-colonialism, and the "in- between" links between cinema, literature, and the visual arts.

Conomos is a prolific contributor to local and overseas art, film and media journals and a frequent participant in conferences, forums and seminars. In 2000 Conomos was awarded a New Media Fellowship from the Australia Council for the Arts. He also co-edited (with Brad Buckley) the anthology Republics of Ideas (Pluto Press) in 2001 and his collection of essays, Mutant Media (Artspace, Sydney) was published in 2007.

In 2009 Conomos exhibited at Tate Modern, London, where he also spoke about his art practice. In the same year he co-edited (with Brad Buckley) the forthcoming anthology concerning contemporary art pedagogy Rethinking the Contemporary Art School (NASCAD University Press, Halifax).

In 2004 Conomos was awarded a Global Greek status by the Hellenic Republic Ministry for the Interior for his contribution to the visual arts.
