Mind the Gap

FernandoDoCampo_webimageMar2010

Mind the Gap is an exhibition of new work by Launceston based artist Fernando do Campo. It is the combined output from an Arts Residency in October 2009 at the Chelsea Westminster Hospital, London and the Artist-in-Residence program at the 2010 UTAS Creative Arts Summer School. Fernando's practice is concerned with how spatial migratory exchanges can be discussed within the painted pictorial space. A lot of his work derives from a specific locale, questioning how this new, often temporary 'home-place' shifts his geographic and cultural spatial understanding.

Fernando do Campo was born in Mar del Plata, Argentina in 1987 and migrated to Melbourne, Australia in 1997. He completed a Bachelor of Contemporary Arts (Visual) at the University of Tasmania in 2007 and received a Bachelor of Visual Arts – Honours from the Australian National University, Canberra in 2008. Fernando has been included in numerous group exhibitions around Australia as well as solo exhibitions in Tasmania, Canberra and Melbourne. He is currently Director of Artsalive Artspace, Launceston and sessional Lecturer in Painting and Art Theory at the University of Tasmania, Launceston.

Fernando lives and works in Launceston and is represented by Colville Street Art Gallery, Hobart.
