Ian Strange (artist)

Ian Strange (born 1982) is an Australian multi-disciplinary artist based in Brooklyn, New York. His work investigates space, architecture and the home, alongside broader themes of disenfranchisement within the built environment.[1]

He is best known for his ‘Suburban Intervention’[2] projects and exhibitions. Using the suburban home as a canvas, Strange’s work incorporates large-scale projects, film, photography, site-specific installation, sculptural installations, drawing, painting and on-going research projects[3]

Curator Sarah Crown says ‘‘Strange’s monumental interventions exist on two extremes of the spectrum of destruction and of elevation. By doing so he challenges our understanding of home and safety.’[4]

Strange has held solo exhibitions at the National Gallery of Victoria, [‘Suburban’, 2011-2013],[5] The Canterbury Museum [‘Final Act’, 2013],[6] as well as having participated in the 2014 Adelaide Biennial of Australian Art at the Art Gallery of South Australia with ‘LANDED’[7] a commissioned sculptural installation on the forecourt of the gallery. ‘SHADOW’ [2015][8] a large-scale project incorporating suburban homes, documented in film and photography for PUBLIC Festival 2015;[9] and ‘ZŁOTY’,[10] a site-specific intervention onto the exterior of a historical building commissioned by the Intytucja Kultury, Katowice, Poland [2015]. He most recently collaborated with Standard Practice,[11] a New York-based Artist Run Initiative, to present his body of work SUBURBAN on Bowery street in New York, May 2016.[12]

In 2017 ABCTV released 'HOME: The Art of Ian Strange' a 6-part documentary series on his career to date.[13]

His work is included in public collections, including the National Gallery of Victoria, Australia,[14] Art Gallery of South Australia, AU,[15] Art Gallery of Western Australia, AU,[16] and the Canterbury Museum, NZ.[17]
