Daniel McKewen is a Brisbane-based artist whose practice investigates the intersections of contemporary art, popular culture, and the entertainment and financial industries. Working across a broad range of media, his appropriative practice examines and critiques how these institutional structures operate culturally, socially, and politically. The resulting works explore and express how our subjective and inter-subjective interactions with these structures can allow us to ‘make sense’ of our own social experiences.
In 2013 Daniel was awarded his Doctorate of Philosophy from Queensland University of Technology. His artwork is held in private collections and has been exhibited nationally and internationally, including in NEW14 at the Australian Centre for Contemporary Art, and You Imagine What You Desire at the 19th Biennale of Sydney. Daniel is a founding board member of Boxcopy, an artist-run initiative which provides exhibition opportunities and support for emerging artists, writers and curators.
