Lane Cormick’s work draws from a wide array of influences including the aesthetics of the industrial and functional, investigation of skill and technique, performance, music, modernist and contemporary culture. These influences feed into an art practice that is open-ended and without predictable outcome. Previous works have been created through endurance-based performance or procedure, with a commitment to impractical or unreasonable projects that test him physically and mentally, exposing the limits of his skills and the enormity of his attempts.
Cormick completed a Bachelor of Fine Art (Drawing) from the VCA in 1999 and has participated in multiple solo and group exhibitions both in Australia and overseas. He has also exhibited at various artist-run initiatives such as Hell, Plinth Projects, Platform, Bus, Penthouse and Pavement, Kings, TCB and First Floor. He has been the recipient of an Australia Council residency in Los Angeles and a Gertrude Contemporary residency in Melbourne. In 2017 VERSION published the limited edition artist book, Lane Cormick: NOHARDATTACK.
We are looking forward to an exciting event with Lane at Daine Singer later in the year.
