Biography
Weaned in the Windansea of La Jolla, California, John G. Boehme’s practice encompasses painting, sculpture, performance, video and digital technology, installation, and photography. His work examines the performance of masculinity, the valorization of labour, the pursuit of leisure, and the marshalling of amity, using both the spoken and gestural aspects of human communication. Not constrained to any specific medium, his recent ‘trans-disciplinary’ work simultaneously integrates performance, video, audio, and material. Boehme has presented across Canada, Australia, the Americas, United Kingdom, Europe and China and teaches Visual Art at Camosun College and the University of Victoria.
