| Matthew Buckingham was
born in Nevada, Iowa, and currently lives in New York City. He studied at the
Art Institute of Chicago, received a BA from the University of Iowa, an MFA
from Bard College and attended the Whitney Independent Study Program. Utilizing
photography, film, video, audio, writing and drawing, his work questions the
role that social memory plays in contemporary life. His projects create physical
and social contexts that encourage viewers to question what is most familiar
to them. Recent works have investigated the Indigenous past and present in the
Hudson River Valley; the "creative destruction" of the city of St.
Louis; and the inception of the first English dictionary. His work has been
seen in one-person and group exhibitions at ARC / Musée d’art moderne
de la Ville de Paris, Paris; Camden Arts Centre, London; The Corcoran Gallery
of Art, Washington DC; Hamburger Bahnhof National Gallery, Berlin; Kunst-Werke,
Berlin; Moderna Museet, Stockholm; Museum Moderner Kunst, Vienna; Museum of
Contemporary Art, Chicago; Museum of Modern Art, New York; Whitechapel, London
and The Whitney Museum of American Art, New York. He was a 2003 recipient of
the DAAD Artist in Berlin Fellowship. |
