Peter Blamey

Peter Blamey is an artist based in Sydney, on Gadigal land. His practice is often sound-focussed and accomplished via an economy of means, and includes performances, videos, recordings and installations. Broadly speaking, his work explores (amongst other things) the interconnected themes of energies and residues, often through reimagining our everyday encounters with mundane materials and technologies and the physical world, and also by considering how they relate to our experiences of energy generation, use, and waste.

Peter has performed extensively over the last 23 years, including experimental arts and music festivals such as Dark Mofo, Liquid Architecture, What is Music, Electrofringe, the Biennale of Sydney, the NOW now, Cementa, and ISEA, plus countless other appearances both locally and internationally.

His work has been exhibited at Serial Space, Hardware, UTS Gallery, ICAN, Firstdraft, Artspace, Bus, West Space, NGV, CACSA (SA), MAMA (Albury), SCA Gallery, SCALA, and Black Mountain College Museum + Art Center (USA), among numerous others, and was also included in Material Sound, curated by Caleb Kelly, which toured nationally 2020–2022.
