Cameron Platter

Cameron Platter's work filters, in a highly personal and idiosyncratic way, the enormous amount of information available today. His art blurs the distinction between high and low, creating a unique visual language that draws from eclectic, every day, and often unorthodox sources. By engaging with transient, fragmented, and disparate elements, Platter crafts pieces that challenge traditional boundaries and inviting viewers o reconsider their perception of contemporary art.

Platter's multidisciplinary approach includes a broad array of mediums and techniques, reflecting his diverse interests and the fluid nature of his creative process. With recent exhibitions include "Imaginary Fact, Contemporary South African Art and the Archive" at the 55th Venice Biennale; "Impressions from South Africa, 1965 to Now" at the Museum of Modern Art, New York; "Public Intimacy: Art and Other Ordinary Acts in South Africa" at SFMOMA, San Francisco; "Rencontres Internationales" at The Centre Georges Pompidou, Paris; Le Biennale de Dakar 2010 in Dakar, Senegal; "Coca-Colonization" at Marte Museum, El Salvador; and "Absent Heroes" at Iziko South African National Gallery. Recent gallery solo shows include Blank Projects in Cape Town; Galerie Hussenot in Paris; and 1301PE in Los Angeles.

His work appears in the permanent collections of MoMA, New York; The FRAC des Pays de la Loire, France; Zeitz MOCAA Collection; The Margulies Collection; and the Iziko South African National Gallery.

Press features include The Los Angeles Times, Artforum, The New York Times, NYAQ, The Guardian, The Wall Street Journal, Vice Magazine, and NKA Journal of Contemporary African Art.

He lives and works in KwaZulu Natal, South Africa.
