SymbioticA PhD candidate Mike Bianco will give a presentation briefly introducing himself, his work with bees prior to his arrival at UWA, and his most recent work and research which has taken place over the past year. Bianco will focus primarily on his recent projects featured in both PICA's Radical Ecologies and the Kenpoku Art Festival.
Mike Bianco is an artist, curator, researcher, activist,cook, and beekeeper.
Bianco’s practice is invested in issues of politics, sustainability, community activism, energy decline, interspecies issues, and the impending “century of crisis.” Bianco’s work has been exhibited in numerous international venues, most recently at the Perth Institute of Contemporary Arts, in Western Australia, and at the Kenpoku Art Festival in Ibaraki, Japan.
Bianco received his BA in Interdisciplinary Arts from Alfred University (2004), an MA in Curatorial Practice from the California College of the Arts (2007), an MFA in Art & Design from the Stamps School of Art and Design at the University of Michigan (2015), and is currently a PhD candidate working in the labs of SymbioticA and CIBER at the University of Western Australia.
