Lyndal Jones is an artist who focuses on context, place and empowerment through very long-term projects involving performance and video installation. She has received a 'Keating' Fellowship (1993-1996), represented Australia at the 2001 Venice Biennale and had a survey exhibition throughout the Australian Centre for Contemporary Art, Melbourne in 2008.
Her works have been shown in major exhibitions across Australia, Europe, Asia and the United States. 'The Avoca Project: Art, Place and Climate Change', her current long-term research project (2005-2015), addresses climate change action at the international level from the perspective of a small Australian country town.
Jones completed her PhD at RMIT University in 2005 on 'Artwork as Proposition: Archive as Web Publication', using her series 'From the Darwin Translations' as a basis for the archive. She has a professorship in the School of Media and Communications at RMIT University where she teaches research strategies to post-graduate students.
