Queer Australian Art and KINK acknowledge the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the traditional owners and custodians of the lands and waters of this continent. KINK conducts its work on the unceded lands of the Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung and Bunurong peoples of the Kulin Nation in Naarm Melbourne, the Turrbal and Jagera peoples in Meanjin Brisbane and the Gadigal lands of the Eora Nation, Sydney. We pay respect to elders past, present, and emerging. Sovereignty was never ceded.

Bio

Jarrod van der Ryken's multidisciplinary practice spans the mediums of photography, video, and sculpture, often resulting in immersive video installation. His work probes themes of identity and representation, juxtaposing the realities of solitary artistic endeavour with the socially interconnected landscape. Within this framework, van der Ryken navigates the tensions between permanence and ephemerality, tradition and innovation, drawing from personal experiences to prompt reflection on broader societal constructs. Embracing the complexities of lived experience, his practice challenges viewers to confront their own preconceptions while contemplating the interplay of personal history and cultural context within contemporary art discourse.

Van der Ryken completed a Bachelor of Fine Arts (Visual Arts) at the Queensland University of Technology and has presented solo exhibitions at CARPARK, Wreckers Upstairs, Outer Space, Boxcopy Contemporary Art Space, and Metro Arts in Brisbane, Firstdraft and Galerie Pompom in Sydney, and Screenspace in Melbourne.
