Dialectics of Art Practices

Initially I began this Blog out of curiosity, but now it is primarily presented as a forum to discuss my thoughts and ideas in relation to the visual arts, design, theory/writings and to also highlight various visual information. As well I am open to thoughts and ideas from others. Please feel free to post comments or for potential postings email text along with the option of some related images.

About Me

Derek Brueckner: Canada; Derek Brueckner (b 1965) Canadian artist living in Winnipeg. Recognized for working with the body/nude models in performance contexts at gallery and performance spaces that include Plug-In Institute of Contemporary Art (1998) Ace Art Inc (2000) and the Collective Unconscious in NYC (2002). Currently he is working with technology in relation to drawing/painting and the figure/body. His current research involves dialectics encompassing the processes of haptic, ocular and technological image making. These processes explore the physical and pictorial characteristics of paint in conjunction to the dematerialized cybernetic pictorial spaces. Often the imagery references these processes and the ambivalence regarding the cultural impact by technology on the body and the way it feels and perceives. The subject matter also references corporeal entities, aliens, mutation, cloning, morphing, rhizomes, fractals, kaleidoscopes, patterns, or spectacle. Specifically the dialectic explores a reaffirmation of painting/drawing in relation to the ambivalence of technology. Currently Brueckner teaches at the University of Manitoba. He has an MFA from Hunter College City University of New York.
