• Jake Treacy (AU)

  Jake Treacy is a curator, arts writer and poet working on the unceded sovereign lands of the Wurundjeri Woi-wurrung and Boon Wurrung Peoples of the Kulin Nation. They are a queer, non-binary person whose practice enacts radical gestures of love, transformation and healing through community collaboration. Their practice employs numinous acts through exhibition-making, visual media, performance, as well as the spoken and written word. They are a University of Melbourne graduate with a Master of Art Curatorship and Postgraduate in Art History. They have co-directed artist-run initiatives; sat on grant advisory panels; written published copy on contemporary arts practice; and performed poetic-academic dissertations in various institutions and symposia. They currently curate at Incinerator Gallery, having previously curated across national art galleries, as well as non-conventional public spaces. Their current practice and research is informed by queer mysticism, dreams, sex, and doom metal.
