Participants
Jon Campbell
Jon Campbell was born in Northern Ireland in 1961. Based in Melbourne since the age of three, Campbell has been exhibiting since the mid 1980s. His practice has explored vernacular language and popular culture through painting, drawing, sculpture, artist books, neon light works, installation, large scale public art projects and musical performance. His work celebrates the language of the everyday, and is grounded in the slang that Australians do so uniquely well.
Stewart Russell
Stewart Russell’s art practice employs a range of media to examine narratives of cultural inheritance, collective identity, nationalism and social justice. The projects are realised through creative collaboration, co-operation and the involvement of others in their subject and their delivery. In 2000 Stewart Russell relocated to Melbourne from London where he was director of London Printworks (1993-99) to establish Spacecraft, a production studio to realise self-initiated and collaborative projects with fellow artists, architects and fashion designers. Artworks created at his Melbourne studio are found in public spaces, galleries and collections across the world.
