Cameron Bishop

Cameron Bishop is an artist, curator and academic living in Melbourne. Now a senior lecturer at Deakin University, Cameron has exhibited and curated, collaboratively and individually, in Australia and overseas for the last fifteen years, and has written a number of artist catalogue essays, book chapters and journal articles. In both his art and writing, Cameron explores notions of identity and its connection to place, which has led to an interest in critical occupancies and the shifting role of the artist in rapidly changing cultural and technological circumstances. His practice has come to reflect this—particularly in public art contexts and curatorial projects such as The New Wilderness, a practice-led project run by teachers, artists and academics from Deakin University, and Treatment, a two-day project featuring six artists and their site-specific works at Melbourne Water’s Western Treatment Plant in 2015.​
