Cameron Robbins

Cameron Robbins is the first Australian artist to present a major solo exhibition at MONA in Hobart, 2016 - over 9 specially built spaces of the museum. ‘Field Lines’ explored kinetic sculpture, installation, drawing and video using natural available energies inside and outside the museum.

Robbins received the prestigious Visual Arts Fellowship from the Creative Australia in 2014/15, and New Work grants in 2011 and 2013.

Cameron has presented many major solo and group exhibitions and many large-scale permanent installations. His work is collected by MONA, the NGA Canberra, Bundanon, Museum Tinguely in Basel, Switzerland, JAHM Art House Museum, Sale Art Gallery, Redlands NSW, Yarra Ranges Museum, Mornington Peninsula Regional Gallery, John Wardle Melbourne, Melbourne City Council, and dozens of private collections across the globe.

MONA has now commissioned a major permanent Robbins wind drawing installation at MONA - an 8 metre wind tower drives a mechanism indoors at the Roy Grounds library. This is a 50 year weather drawing project, documenting and transcribing the changing climate, outliving the artist.
