Bio
Nick Garner is an artist/producer 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. Over this time Nick exhibited at various artist run initiatives in Sydney, including screening the filmic exhibition work Acid/Gothic at MOP projects in 2014.
From 2015-2019, he was 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, venue, and 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.
