As an artist based in London, in the 1990s, he participated in various group exhibitions, such as East Country Yard Show (1990), with contemporaries including Liam Gillick, Michael Landy, Sarah Lucas and Gillian Wearing.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Tom Trevor )〕 In 1996 he co-curated a multi-site project, ''The Visible & the Invisible: representing the body in contemporary art & society'', produced by InIVA, that took place in non-art locations around Euston, London, including first UK presentations by Tania Bruguera and Doris Salcedo, along with site-specific installations by Louise Bourgeois, Bruce Nauman, Yoko Ono, Donald Rodney and others. At Spacex, from June 1999, Trevor curated over 50 exhibitions and 'off-site' projects, placing a particular emphasis upon socially-engaged, context-based work. Multi-site projects included ''Patterns'' (2001), with Samta Benyahia and Zineb Sedira, and ''Homeland'' (2004), presenting site-specific work by 44 artists in 8 different everyday locations. He also curated projects for the Liverpool Biennial; ''Generator'' (2002), ''Hortus'' (2004) and, later, ''Far West Metro'' (2008); and for Frieze Art Fair (2005) (with new film commissions by Yang Fudong, Mark Leckey, Daria Martin, Jimmy Robert, Imogen Stidworthy and Mika Taanila). From October 2005 Trevor was Director of Arnolfini, overseeing a visual arts-led multidisciplinary programme of exhibitions, performance, dance, music and film, with a public programme of talks, seminars and learning & participation activities. In 2011, on the occasion of its 50th anniversary, Sir Nicholas Serota described Arnolfini as "one of a handful of the most significant contemporary cultural centres in Europe". Long-term context-led projects in the city of Bristol include Maria Thereza Alves' ''Ballast Seed Garden'' (2007 ongoing) and Suzanne Lacy's ''University of Local Knowledge'' (2009 ongoing). Trevor left Arnolfini in October 2013, after 8 years, to focus on developing curatorial projects internationally.〔 The first of these, ''Black Sun'' (co-curated with Shezad Dawood), opened at the Devi Art Foundation, in Delhi, India, in November 2013. Trevor is currently Artistic Director of the 4th Dojima River Biennale〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Take Me To The River )〕 in Osaka, Japan, taking place in July 2015.

Recent projects include John Akomfrah's ''Vertigo Sea'' for ''All The World's Futures'' at the 56th Venice Biennale, and a large-scale architectural commission by Do Ho Suh for Bristol Museum. He is an Honorary Research Fellow at the University of Exeter (UK) (2014-17), where he was conferred an Honorary Doctorate of Letters (DLitt) in July 2014. Trevor has lectured widely, including talks in Aarhus, Beijing, Beirut, Bridgetown, Faenza, Seoul, Tehran, Venice, Yokohama and Zurich.
