Callum McGrath

Callum McGrath considers the ways that history has been narrated and remembered in queer contexts, with a particular interest in systems of power. Working across installation, sculpture, photography and video, McGrath interrogates the conditions of knowledge and status of ‘truth’ in queer history. His work is often developed through an extensive process of collecting and organising found material.

McGrath has exhibited across Australia, including at the Museum for Contemporary Art Australia, Gadigal Country/Sydney; the Australian Centre for Contemporary Art, Naarm/ Melbourne; the Art Gallery of South Australia, Tarntanya/Adelaide; La Trobe Art Institute, Djaara/Bendigo; UNSW Galleries, Gadigal Country/Sydney; Queensland Art Gallery | Gallery of Modern Art, Meanjin/Brisbane; Centre for Contemporary Photography, Naarm/Melbourne; Institute of Modern Art, Meanjin/Brisbane; and Perth Institute of Contemporary Arts, Boorloo/Perth. He is a founding contributor to KINK, a collective researching histories of queer Australian art. He holds a PhD in Fine Art from Monash University.
