Lives and works Western Australia.

Jacobus Capone has an expansive and multi-disciplined practice where work often stems from self-initiated pilgrimages and performances that incorporate durational activity, measures of time or a sense of episodic memorial. His determination to seek connections with place and to pay homage to human and ecological fragilities instils a tenor in his work that is paradoxically elegiacal and uplifting.

Since graduating from Edith Cowan University in 2007 Capone's exhibition history is impressive. He has shown in many cities across the globe and has been included in important national projects that identify influential practice, such as Primavera 2017 at the Museum of Contemporary Art and New 16 at the Australian Centre for Contemporary Art, and the Tarra Warra Biennial 'Slow Moving Water' in 2021. The ten-channel video installation Echo & Abyss premiered in a solo exhibition 'Beating Heart' at Fremantle Arts Centre in 2021. In 2022 he is the subject of a major solo exhibition 'Orisons' at the University of New South Wales Galleries that will see a range of media celebrated, including Echo & Abyss. Capone has been invited to present work in the Aichi Triennial 'Still Alive' in Japan in the second half of the year.
