Jon Davies: Colin Campbell, Video Art and Writing

Curator and writer Jon Davies will talk about pioneering Canadian video artist Colin Campbell (1942–2001) and video art as a medium for writing, performance and narrative. He will draw on his experiences editing the anthology More Voice-Over: Colin Campbell Writings (Concordia University Press, 2021) and curating two exhibitions surrounding Campbell’s work in video.

Jon Davies is a PhD Candidate in Art History at Stanford University researching the intertwining of artistic and sexual experimentation in San Francisco. He has worked as a curator at The Power Plant Contemporary Art Gallery, Oakville Galleries and the Art Gallery of Ontario in Toronto. His writing has been published in C, Canadian Art, Fillip, Frieze, and Master Drawings.
