David Claerbout draws on the conventions of film, photography, and digital media, challenging boundaries by combining traditional technologies in the production of his works. His works defy the expectations of the viewer, as he manipulates still photographs to introduce movement, subtly accelerates or decelerates his films, edits separate recordings together, and often employs narratives that become a secondary feature to the work.
David Claerbout was born in 1969 in Kortrjik, Belgium, and lives and works in Antwerp. Since the late 1990’s, his work has been exhibited widely in international institutions and included in public collections such as Sammlung Goetz, Museum für Moderne Kunst, Frankfurt, De Pont Foundation, Boijmans van Beuningen, Hamburger Bahnhof, Centre Georges Pompidou Musée National d’Art Moderne.
The artist’s talk is co-presented by the Charles H. Scott Gallery, Emily Carr University; the Contemporary Art Society of Vancouver; and the Belkin Art Gallery.
