Overview
Daniel Mudie Cunningham is a Sydney-based artist, curator, writer and cultural critic, currently the chairman of dLux MediaArts and senior curator at Artbank. His works draw on and rethink the image streams of art history, everyday life, popular culture and fandom, demonstrated mainly through video and performance.
In 2012 his piece Funeral Songs a jukebox that plays a mix of songs people have said they'd like played at their funerals was included as part of the permanent collection at Hobart's MONA. He's currently working on a project that will reflect on the Cronulla Riots ten years on and how its visual history intersects with the seemingly very different Stonewall Riots of 1969.
More immediately, Cunningham is going back in time, re-performing his 1993 work Gender is a Drag at ALASKA Projects in Sydney. It's the 20th anniversary of the work, which also marked the artist's first public performance.
