Kevin Murray is Director of Craft Victoria, a Melbourne-based
organisation that disseminates contemporary craft. He is keenly
interested in craft as a language for the expression of identity that
counterbalances a distracted contemporary culture. Murray has curated a
number of exhibitions that have toured nationally, including Symmetry:
Crafts Meet Kindred Trades and Professions, How Say You, Turn the Soil:
What if Australia had been colonised by someone else?, Water Medicine:
Precious Works for an Arid Continent, Guild Unlimited: Ten jewellers
make insignia for potential guilds, Haven: The Promised Land in Tasmania
and Seven Sisters: Fibre Works from the West. For two years, he was
curator of the interactive program for the Melbourne Film Festival. As
well as articles for art publications, he also writes features for The
Age newspaper and produces radio programs for the ABC. In 1996, he was
awarded a VACB Writing Fellowship and edited 'Judgment of Paris: Recent
French Thought in a Local Context' (Allen & Unwin). His PhD was in the
field of narrative psychology and he is currently working towards a
series of events and book on the theme of the south. Most exhibitions
and articles are online at www.kitezh.com. Kevin Murray lives in
Brunswick, Melbourne.
