David Keeling

David Keeling (born 1951) is an Australian artist.

Life and work

Born in Launceston, Tasmania in 1951, Keeling spent his younger years there before moving to Melbourne in 1970, to attend the Swinburne Film and Television School. He returned to Tasmania in 1973 after completing his studies at Swinburne, and commenced a new course at the Tasmanian School of Art.[1] He went on to study at the Alexander Mackie School of Art in Sydney in 1981, and completed his Masters in Fine Art at RMIT in 1999. Keeling currently lives and works in Hobart.[1]

David has acted as Chairman and Board Member of Contemporary Art Services Tasmania, and Artbank, Sydney. One critic has written: "Through a David Keeling frame, the tensions between change and continuity, survival and flourishing, interiors and the outside, a close pathway to an opening or an edge, are so often evident."[2] Another has described his work as: "An honest approach to the craft of painting."[3]

Collections and awards

Keeling has achieved significant recognition for his work and was awarded the 2016 Glover Prize, becoming the only artist in the history of the Glover Prize to have won it on more than one occasion.[4] In 2015 The University of Tasmania held a survey exhibition titled David Keeling: Inside Out, which featured both painting and sculpture, spanning over three decades of the artist’s career.

His work is held in the National Gallery of Australia; National Gallery of Victoria; Art Gallery of South Australia; Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery; Queen Victoria Museum and Art Gallery; Gippsland Regional Gallery and the Artbank collection, as well as in corporate and private collections in Australia and overseas.[5]

gollark: Where it shines is in performing random useful tasks which there isn't dedicated hardware available for, linking together disparate systems (much more practically than redstone), working as a "microcontroller" to control something based on a bunch of input data, and entertainment-/decorative-type things (displaying stuff on monitors and whatnot, and music with Computronics).
gollark: For example, quarrying. CC has turtles. They can dig things. They can move. You can make a quarry out of this, and people have. But in practice, they're not hugely fast or efficient, and it's hard to make it work well in the face of stuff like server restarts, while a dedicated quarrying device from a mod will handle this fine and probably go faster if you can power it somehow.
gollark: I honestly don't think CC is particularly overpowered even with turtles. While it can technically do basically anything, most bigger packs will have special-purpose devices which are more expensive but do it way better, while CC is very annoying to have work.
gollark: Out of all the available APIs in _G the only ones I can see which allow I/O of some sort directly and don't just make some task you can technically already do more convenient are `fs`, `os`, `redstone`, `http`, and `term`. You can, at most, probably disable `http` and `redstone` without breaking everything horribly, and it would still be annoying.
gollark: What other stuff would you disable, anyway? I don't think there's much which isn't just a utility API of some sort which you can disable without more problems.
