Artist Bio
Nick Garner is an artist and publisher from Sydney. He holds a BFA (2007) and MArt (2012) from the College of Fine Arts, Sydney. From 2008–2014 he published Das Superpaper, a quarterly journal on art in Australia, and produced from 2010–2015 the subsequent online video series, Das Platforms. Since 2015, he has been the publisher and editor of Oberon, an occasional journal on art focusing on long-form essays and associative pictorials.
From 2017–2019, Nick Garner was the director of Peryton, an exhibition space and wine bar in central Copenhagen, founded as the home to Oberon. Outside of a program of public talks and performances, and an ongoing concert series of experimental music, the main project at Peryton was a series of exhibitions called The Sunshine, documented in a publication of the same name.
Other
Outside of my art and publishing practice, I have worked on-and-off as a video producer with a range of cultural institutions – commercial/ non-profit/state galleries, universities, biennials, and performing arts companies – and as co-director of the feature length documentary on the Australian painter Keith Looby. I am currently producing for Playground Films in Sydney.
