Corey Black

Corey Black is an artist based on Gadigal land, choreographing the marrow of numerous industrial and post-industrial fabrication methods. Black works alongside each material, craftsperson, laborour and machine through disruptive modalities. Examining these processes leads to speculating on the process of making in and of itself as well as a means of processing research and sensoria to uncover new forms. Aiming to imbue the visibility of these production methods within each work, Black questions pathways of consumption, technology and seduction entrenched within 21st century art-making. In locating the uncanny amongst the ubiquitous, Black questions what we may consume and how much we can inhale, allowing disparate and banished elements to find common ground amongst contemporary rubble.

In 2021, he graduated from the National Art School with an MFA in Photomedia. He has exhibited with Minerva, Australian Galleries, The British School at Rome and Hidden Rookwood as well as undertaken residences at the Corridor Project, Cowra and the British School at Rome, Italy. He is a co-director of Schmick Contemporary.
