Born on Kumeyaay territory in La Jolla, California, John G. Boehme’s work spans performance, education and curation. With a multidisciplinary practice that encompasses painting, sculpture, performance, video, installation and photography, Boehme’s work examines the performance of masculinity, the valorization of labour, the pursuit of leisure, and the marshalling of amity through both the spoken and gestural aspects of human communication. He has presented across Canada, Australia, the Americas, the United Kingdom, Europe and China and teaches Visual Art at Camosun College and the University of Victoria.
