Daniel Mudie Cunningham completed his Doctor of Philosophy in Cultural Studies & Visual Culture in 2004 and Bachelor of Arts – First Class Honours in Art History & Criticism, both at the University of Western Sydney. Based in Sydney, Cunningham’s work interrogates visual histories, popular cultures and oppositional identity politics.
Primarily working with video, performance and installation, Cunningham draws upon and re-imagines the vernacular image streams of everyday life and its connection to the past through the use of found photographs, video, music and text. Recent solo or two-person exhibitions include Funeral Songs in 2012 at Museum of Old and New Art, Hobart; The Fall Before Fall in 2011 (with Elvis Richardson) at UTS Gallery, Sydney; Rhymes with Failure in 2010 at MOP Projects, Sydney; and Oh Industry in 2009 at MOP Projects.
Cunningham is a widely published arts writer and cultural critic and has been active since the mid-1990s as a curator of contemporary Australian art. He is currently the Chairman of dLux MediaArts and works as Senior Curator at Artbank.
