CAMERON ROBBINS

  • Cameron Robbins is the first Australian artist invited to present a large scale solo exhibition at the Museum of Old and New Art, Tasmania.

    This exhibition Field Lines opened in May 2016 across 9 new gallery spaces in the museum. 

    His work makes tangible the underlying structures and rhythms of natural forces. He has produced site-specific installations and exhibitions in art centres, disused buildings and outdoor sites in Australia, Switzerland, Japan, Norway, China, Denmark, Germany and the UK, both self-funded and commissioned. 

    These inquiries employ structural devices including kinetic wind or water powered mechanical systems. Their aesthetic is the result of both careful engineering and resourcefulness. The outputs of these site-specific installations include wind drawings and sound compositions. These inter-pretations of the dynamics and scale of the physical world suggest the complexities of the unknown. 

    Cameron is based in Melbourne Australia, plays clarinet and saxophone in jazz and experimental ensembles, and studied Fine Art (Sculpture) at Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology and the Victorian College of the Arts to 1990;  lectured in art and design at RMIT since 2000; awarded Australia Council Visual Arts Fellowship in 2015, and New Work Grants in 2011 and 2013, and vari-ous commissions.
