Articles by John Young

John Young Zerunge AM (楊子榮) is a Hong Kong born, Australian visual artist. He has dedicated a five-decade long practice to the investigation of Western late and post-modern artistic practice from a bicultural perspective. Beginning his work within art criticism and conceptual art practice in the late 1970’s, John Young has since exhibited extensively both nationally and internationally, including representing Australia at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, New York, as well as in large-scale museum touring exhibitions initiated by Australia in the Asia-Pacific since 1992. He has had four survey exhibitions and significant monographs dedicated to his work. Young was seminal in establishing the Asian Australian Artists' Association in 1995, now the 4A Centre for Contemporary Asian Art, Sydney - a centre for the promotion of Asian philanthropy and the nurturing of Australasian artists and curators. He was also made a Member of the Order of Australia in 2020 for significant service to the Visual Arts.
