David Attwood produces sculptural assemblages, readymades and found-objects using contemporary consumer products. His work explores the auratic qualities of products and branded items—particularly appliances, devices and apparel—and their relationships to notions of labour, performance and optimisation. Attwood holds a PhD from Curtin University, and completed the SOMA Summer program, SOMA, Mexico City. Alongside his studio practice Attwood directs the independent project space Disneyland Paris and with Francis Russell is co-editor of the book The Art of Laziness: Contemporary Art and Post-work Politics (Art + Australia, 2020).
