  • Derek Brueckner (b 1965) is a Canadian artist living in Winnipeg, Manitoba. He is recognized for working with the figure 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 (2002). Currently he is working with technology in relation to painting and the figure/body. His current research involves dialectics between the processes of haptic 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 involving either in collaboration or against technology and this dialectic’s relation to the body and modes of perception, interpretation and depiction of imagery. Currently Brueckner is an instructor at the University of Manitoba. Lectures and panel discussions include a recent panel discussion at the 2008 College Art Association Conference. He has an Master of Fine Arts from Hunter College City University of New York Department of Art (1991).
