Kiron Robinson

His curatorial interest is underpinned by a deep personal questioning within his own artistic practice that utilises a range of material strategies to investigate the idea of doubt, faith and failure as constructive devices. Robinson’s work continually chases ways of articulating, that which, by its own definition, is beyond articulation. Robinson has exhibited his work widely both nationally and internationally.

Recent solo exhibitions include: We told ourselves we needed separate beds to sleep, Centre for Contemporary Photography, Melbourne, 2015; Hello, you’ve made it, Sarah Scout Presents, Melbourne, 2015;

Recent group exhibitions include: What happens now?, Melbourne Biennial Lab curated by Natalie King, Queen Victoria Market, Melbourne; Vertigo, Galeri Soemardja, Indonesia, Museum of Contemporary Art, Tapei, POSCO Art Gallery Seoul, 2014; Immanent Landscape, Kurumuya Museum, Japan, 2012;
