Derek Hunter

DEREK HUNTER is an interdisciplinary visual
artist, environmentalist and whirling dervish, living and working
in Vancouver, BC. He frequently collaborates with New York based
artist Mary Mattingly, as well as with his wife and partner
Mira Hunter. His most recent piece Time Machine features
65 disposable cameras fixed to a 350 degree rail made from reclaimed
lumber, activated by electromechanical solenoids. The images,
often displaying unusual exposure disturbances anomalies, are
scanned and made into two films which will play simultaneously
within a wooden yurt, installed at the SFU School for Contemporary
Arts exhibition space at 611 Alexander Street in Vancouver.
Hunter is relocating to New York in the fall to work on the
floating art exhibit, Waterpod™. He will also be debuting
a companion piece to Time Machine, working title Time Bomb.
Time Bomb is a different look at reparative/restorative potential
in art. Inspired by Fischli/Weiss and Mary Mattingly's future
human Navigators, it will playfully document a moment when nature
and the common animal will raise a malakoff cocktail in the
name of environmental injustice, through bullet time photography,
stop motion animation, super 16 film, video and a rotating tripod
machine.

PATRICK CALLERY: "When I was in college, one morning, I was sitting on a step in a corridor with my back against a door that led to the roof of the building. My mind was not on anything in particular until I noticed a dot of light on the wall across from me. It was blurry around the edges and nondescript, but, nevertheless, moving, as if alive. It took me a moment to realize that a tiny gap between the door and its frame created a pin-hole lens. What I was seeing was an inverted image of the sky and clouds outside. That moment made an indelible mark on my vocabulary of perception..."
Exhibitions curated by Patrick Callery include "In the Belly of the Whale" at Tracy Williams Ltd."Plant Life" at Anthony Meier Fine Arts, and "New, New, New" at AD*HOC.
"Callery is something of a live wire in the New York scene." - Rupert Goldsworthy
